Some of the most shocking statements of Jesus are found in his teachings about forgiving others. Yet often we as his followers ignore or make excuses for why we don't need to obey his teaching to forgive. What did Jesus really teach about forgiving others? How can we forgive those who have deeply wronged us? How do you forgive when it seems impossible?

• What Forgiveness Is -- and Isn't
• How Forgiveness Is An Event and Process
• The Role of Prayer and Community
