When You've Been Wronged - by Erwin W Lutzer (Paperback)

About the Book

Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave broken relationships in the hands of God, and move forward toward freedom.

Book Synopsis

You've been wronged.

Have lies have been told about you? Have you been rejected? Maybe you've been the victim of abuse. Perhaps it's a broken promise. Or someone betrayed your confidence.

It's only natural that you would be angry. These wounds cry out for justice! But what if justice isn't possible this side of heaven? What if the damage can't be undone? What then?

You have a decision to make.

You can hold on to your anger until your anguish builds a prison of bitterness, where you will live a diminished and pain-filled life. Or you can choose to forgive.

Erwin Lutzer discusses dealing with difficult people such as "spear throwers" and "destroyers," as well as handling conflict among family members and Christians in the courtroom. In this concise, quickly readable volume, you'll learn how to move from bitterness to blessing by choosing forgiveness.

By choosing forgiveness you are choosing abundant life. It's a decision you can make today!
