Synopsis

“If our families are to flourish, we will need to learn and practice ways of forgiving those who have had the greatest impact upon us: our mothers and fathers.”
 Do you struggle with the deep pain of a broken relationship with a parent? Leslie Leyland Fields and Dr. Jill Hubbard invite you to walk with them as they explore the following questions:

• What does the Bible say about forgiveness? Why must we forgive at all?
• How do we honor those who act dishonorably toward us, especially when those people are as influential as our parents? Can we ever break free from the “sins of our fathers”?
• What does forgiveness look like in the lives of real parents and children? Does forgiveness mean I have to let an estranged parent back into my life? Is it possible to forgive a parent who has passed away?
 Through the authors’ own compelling personal stories combined with a fresh look at the Scriptures, Forgiving Our Fathers and Mothers illustrates and instructs in the practice of authentic forgiveness, leading you away from hate and hurt toward healing, hope, and freedom.

Every one of us leaves childhood wounded, in large or small ways, by our parents. We are born into family systems that bring with them blessings and curses, usually both.

Months ago when I browsed the options at BookLook Bloggers, I noticed that one of the books I could review was written by Leslie Leyland Fields, a fellow member of the Redbud Writers Guild. I knew Leslie only through our interactions in the Redbud Facebook group, but what I observed of her life intri......more

Everyone is birthed by human parents. All human parents make mistakes. This book details beautifully the journey of reconciliation.

I enjoyed reading this - hearing snippets of stories from other wounded people - receiving a little insight from Dr. Jill. I have spent the majority of my adult life trying to forgive my father. Not just of the past but of the present. He lived until he turned 92 on November 2 and passed on November......more
