Holding on to anger is like swallowing a poison pill and hoping the other person dies! It's a deadly dilemma. But now, there's a solution. Every one of us has a grievance story a hurtful event perpetrated by someone who mattered in our lives. And for most of us, the never-ending hurt leaves us feeling discouraged and unhappy.

But in his medically acclaimed book Forgive to Live, and now in this completely revised workbook, Dr. Dick Tibbits demonstrates how forgiveness can literally save your life.
