Against the OddsTrue Stories of Healing and Forgiveness

A collection of stories showing the importance of forgiveness and its potential as a healing force within society. The stories cover forgiveness in dramatic circumstances such as war, terrorist attack and rape, as well more 'ordinary' examples. A range of practitioners and church leaders provide reflections on the stories, offering a different perspective, and questions at the end of each story focus on the themes raised. Introductory and closing chapters explain how to use the book, and invite readers to think about the importance of forgiveness in their own lives.
