Forgiving What You Can't Forget: Discover How to Move On, Make Peace with Painful Memories, and Create a Life That’s Beautiful Again

This book is a compassionate, faith-centered guide for anyone carrying heavy pain, memories, or wounds from past hurts — from betrayal to abuse to deep disappointment. TerKeurst mixes personal stories, biblical insight, and practical exercises to show that forgiveness is not about excusing wrongs or pretending the hurt didn’t happen, but about releasing the power of resentment and freeing one’s own heart. She walks readers through a step-by-step process for acknowledging pain, processing grief, and making peace so that they can move forward with hope and emotional freedom. The book speaks especially to people of faith, but its core message — forgiveness as healing, not weakness — resonates widely
