The Challenge of Forgiveness (Saint Paul University Series on Pastoral Counselling) - Softcover
In this first book in a new series, twelve leading practitioners and theorists explore the theory and practice of forgiveness and its place in pastoral counselling. Together they present an insight-filled overview of the meaning of forgiveness and the difficulty of attaining it in concrete situations ranging from marital infidelity to large social ills such as abuse in residential schools. The result is a collection of experience-rich observations which will be of benefit to anyone working in or interested in the pastoral dimensions of counselling.

From the Inside Flap:
In this Practical and theoretical exploration of the fragile wonder that is forgiveness, Augustine Meier and Peter VanKatwyk have assembled 17 leading practitioners and theorists to discuss forgiveness and pastoral counselling in such areas as youth suicide, persons with disabilities, abuse, extra-marital affairs, adoption, First Nations peoples, and much more. This experience-rich collection will be of benefit to those who are interested in or who work with the pastoral dimensions of counselling, as well as to people involved in mediation with seemingly unresolvable issues. "Forgiveness is such a perfect act that it surpasses the mere psychological capacity of a person. This is why one must rely heavily on one's religious and spiritual resources to accomplish authentic forgiveness. This does not mean that the forgiver has to accept the particular creeds of institutionalized religion, but he or she must at least delve into the spiritual and the sacred realm of the soul.
"The therapeutic effectiveness of forgiving is conditioned by the forgiver's feeling that he or she is loved and forgiven by a higher spiritual Power of Love."
--John Monbourquette, psychotherapist, priest and best-selling author of numerous books in several languages, including How to Forgive: A step-by-STep Guide (Novalis)
