Title: The Prayer of Revenge: Forgiveness in the Face of Injustice Author: Doug Schmidt Publisher: Cook Communications Ministries ISBN: 0-781-43942-6 Genre: Nonfiction/Forgiveness/Christian Living
In The Prayer of Revenge, Doug Schmidt writes about how to forgive those who wrong you—especially when they aren’t sorry, or when you’ve been hurt so badly that it requires an act of God to even consider forgiveness.
There are chapters with the headings like: Face-to-Face with the Eternally Remorseless; To Forgive or Not to Forgive; The Unexpected Emptiness of Human Justice; and Preparing Our Hearts, Moving Forward—just to name a few.
Doug Schmidt deals with this difficult subject in a honest manner, depicting how God views justice and forgiveness. The Prayer of Revenge will help you learn how to respond in a Godly manner to the pain in your life.
Some of the questions answered are: What is the difference between justice and revenge? Why is it dangerous to ask God for vindication with a heart that’s not prepared?
The Prayer of Revenge is a very deep book, best read a little at a time. The reader will need time to focus completely on each aspect of the book, but will come away with a deeper understanding on how God works, and how to respond to injustice. If you need to forgive someone, or know someone who needs help in this area, then The Prayer of Revenge is the book for you. | |
