Books about Bitterness from Amazon.com

Helps readers move beyond the wounds and baggage of bitterness, disagreements, and broken relationships

“True or false: most Christian pastors and counselors agree on what forgiveness is and how it should take place.” This question is part of Chris Brauns’s Forgiveness Quiz that draws readers into his book and gets them thinking about the subject of forgiveness. The truth is, pastors and counselors disagree profoundly on this subject. Unpacking Forgiveness combines sound theological thinking and honesty about the complicated questions many face to provide readers with a solid understanding of biblical forgiveness.

Only God’s Word can unpack forgiveness. The wounds are too deep for us to find healing on our own, and the questions are too complex to be unraveled by anything but the wisdom of God. This book goes beyond a feel-good doctrine of automatic forgiveness, balancing the beauty of God’s grace and the necessity of forgiveness with the teaching that forgiveness must take place in a way that is consistent with justice.

option and failed, all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain.

gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He

also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the

hands of God, and move forward in our lives toward freedom. It is

only through His healing power that we can overcome the bitterness

and resentment that has overtaken our world.

"Limón's crisp, clear storytelling opens a door to another world and leaves one hoping the next installment won't be so long in arriving."-The Baltimore Sun

"As good as Limón's series debut, Jade Lady Burning."-The Plain Dealer

"Plot, pacing, and plausibility are just about perfect. . . . Limón has a humane outlook that nourishes the spirit."-The Philadelphia Inquirer (Editor's Choice)

The two GI cops Martin Limón first introduced in Jade Lady Burning are back with a vengeance in their latest adventures in 1970s Seoul and the sin cities surrounding the capital. While North Korea menaces and Vietnam burns, these two weave through back alleys and bordellos, trying to tip the scales of justice back in the right direction.

This time they are not only pursuing criminals-they're chasing themselves. Homicidal thieves have gotten hold of Sueño's badge and are using it to trick their victims just long enough to strike-with his gun. The army wants his equipment accounted for, the ID and weapon recovered. George and Ernie want to recover their reputation, such as it is . . . and stop the killings.

Bitterness often grows out of a small offense: perhaps a passing word, an accidental shove, or a pair of dirty socks left in the middle of the living room floor. Yet when bitterness takes root in our hearts, its effects are anything but small.

In this collection of short articles, Jim Wilson and others discuss what it means to live as "imitators of God." As the Apostle Paul says in Ephesians, we have been called to leave the bitterness and anger of the world and instead embrace the love and compassion of our God. The authors remind us that we are to forgive others just as we have been forgiven, pointing to Scriptural admonitions and examples as they offer sound teaching on the trials and temptations of everyday life..
