Forgiving As We've Been Forgiven: Community Practices for Making Peace - Paperback
by L. Gregory Jones (Author), Célestin Musekura (Author)
Hearing the call to forgive is different from knowing how to practice forgiveness at home and in the world. In this book, Greg Jones and Célestin Musekura describe how churches and communities can cultivate the habits that make forgiveness possible, not only in situations like genocide but also in everyday circumstances of marriage, family and congregational life.
