  ## WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT _FORGIVING WHAT YOU CAN’T FORGET_
  
  
  “I’m really grateful for Lysa TerKeurst’s courage to walk with us and teach us
  not just from her own experiences but from her vast theological and
  therapeutic research on what forgiveness is, what it isn’t, and how to
  realistically live this out. This resource is invaluable, and I pray it brings
  healing to your life like it has mine.”
  
  
  —CRAIG GROESCHEL, Pastor, Life.Church;  
   _New York Times_ bestselling author
  
  
  “Forgiveness lived out can be one of the hardest things we do in life and Lysa
  has written a breathtakingly beautiful guide for us to maneuver the most
  painful parts of our pasts. She has walked this hard road herself and what God
  has done in and through her is nothing short of a miracle!”
