About this listen

Why should we forgive others? And how do I do it?
'As we forgive those who trespass against us...'

With his usual wisdom and knowledge of the Bible, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller dives in the heart of the Gospel to write a comprehensive and practical reflection on forgiveness, resentment and reconciliation.

With a book that speaks to our daily reality, Keller demonstrates that forgiveness matters on more than a spiritual level and explores the cost of forgiveness and the weight of resentment in our relationship with others and with God.

A necessary and easy read to find practical answers to questions such as:
  • What is forgiveness?

  • How do we forgive?

  • What if the person who hurt us doesn't repent?

  • What is the cost of forgiveness? And that of unforgiveness?



  • 'This book enabled healing of a decades long anger. It is a necessary read for all.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    'The most comprehensive yet palatable reference on Christian forgiveness I've ever read. It breaks it down, backing every truth with Scripture. It's like a handbook on how to forgive.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    'This book dusted off cobwebs in my heart that I did not even realize needed dusting in the first place.' Goodreads reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    'Highly recommend for anyone who is ready to tackle forgiving someone but struggling.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Critic reviews

Pastor Keller delivers a thorough and eloquent apologetic for forgiveness... All will appreciate Keller's lucid prose and gift for succinctly summarizing biblical wisdom. The result is a thought-provoking take on how to forgive.
Full of cultural references and solid biblical exposition, Keller deftly explains why the need to forgive is so essential in a society that seems, increasingly, to hang onto hurt feelings and desire vengeance. Without shying away from the thorny issues of church abuse, seeking justice and dealing with the real-world consequences of others' bad behaviour, Keller nevertheless makes the case for forgiving as God commands. But he doesn't leave the reader there. he also provides a practical guide on how to do this. (Emma Fowle)

Another great book by Tim Keller, a pastor friend of mine described it as the best book Keller has ever written. My favourite part was the appendix - so practically useful. This isn't a book about hypotheticals, you will be extremely challenged.
