“Forgiveness works beyond the taking away of our sins. Forgiveness works a wonder. It changes the way we think; it governs the direction of our walk; it generates sincerity in our worship, and moderates our relationships with God and man.”
This book leads us on a journey—a spiritual and scriptural journey. It is very personal. It opens us up to ourselves and to God. It prepares our minds to receive the grace of God in His Son, and allows God’s forgiveness to work its wonder and bring change in our lives.
