Synopsis

In this new book, Cousineau attempts to look at a much neglected but vital part of the human spiritatonement. In using this term, he is not referring to a theological concept but to what he calls the next step after forgiveness. To address this important topic, Cousineau gathered the 15 essays and interviews by high-profile writers. All 15 contributors are committed to promoting the book when it eventually appears. There are several prominent names among them who can help us attract reviews and audiences: Huston Smith, Jacob Needleman, Arun Gandhi, and Azim Khamisa, who by himself draws hundreds of people to his events all over the world. And Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, is in the wings waiting to endorse the book, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama is currently reading the manuscript to consider writing the foreword.

About Phil Cousineau

Phil Cousineau is an award-winning writer and filmmaker, teacher and editor, lecturer, storyteller, and TV host. His fascination with the art, literature, and history of culture has taken him from Michigan to Marrakesh, Iceland to the Amazon, in a worldwide search for what the ancients called the "soul of the world." With more than thirty-five books and fifteen scriptwriting credits to his name, the "omnipresent influence of myth in modern life" is a thread that runs through all of his work.

Beyond Forgiveness is a collection of wise and powerful essays, each one demonstrating how acts of atonement—such as making amends or providing restitution—prove the depth and authenticity of our desire to be forgiven. During this time of turmoil and unease in the world, Cousineau’s book continues t......more

Goodreads review by Diane

The first half of this book seemed very redundant. But the second half of the book was very interesting, with personal stories and insights from the individuals that had done the forgiving and had been forgiven. This book would have been a 5 star if it had focused more on the stories. I really learn......more
