The Prodigal System of Forgiveness and Reconciliation J. Emmett Beam

In today's world, relationships and lives are destroyed by conflict, greed, deception, betrayal, abandonment, abuse and other cruel acts of violence. Stories of Ponzi schemes, unethical financial dealings, infidelity, gang violence and terrorism are common place in the news. Such acts result in financial ruin, divorce, physical pain, emotional trauma and even death of loved ones. Our first instinct is to pay back evil for evil and take our own revenge. Yet is that the best course? This book explores and examines some tough questions, including: ? Is it possible to recover from the loss, grief and trauma resulting from an injustice? ? Will post-traumatic stress plague a victim of violence forever? ? How can relationships be restored after betrayal or adultery? ? Is it possible to forgive someone who has cruelly or violently injured us? ? Can we actually "love our enemies" as instructed in the Bible? ? Can we get forgiveness from God after committing violence, infidelity or murder? ? Is there a key to personal healing, no matter what someone has experienced? The good news is there is a key to personal healing and a way to recover from the losses, grief and traumas of life. And it's called forgiveness. The Parable System of Forgiveness and Reconciliation provides a practical, proven method of forgiving anyone for any type of injustice. It also describes how to restore and reconcile broken relationships. This invaluable resource will help you do one of the hardest things you'll ever do for your own personal healing: forgive someone who has betrayed, abused, violated, or committed a violent offense against you or a loved one.
