Rising Above the Storm Clouds: What It's Like to Forgive

About this book

Forgiveness is like flying above storm clouds and bouncing on big white cotton ball clouds in a clear blue sky. Its like the cat sharing her warm spot by the evening fire with the dog who fought with her that morning. Its like a mole sharing his underground home with a prickly porcupine through the cold winter. When Freddy B. and Ezzie arrive tussling and tattling in their fathers quiet study he decides to lead them on an imaginary journey through the landscape of forgiveness. Together they see what its like to forgive and discover that forgiveness can feel good to the forgiver perhaps even more than the forgiven. In a Note to Parents author and psychologist Robert Enright PhD defines forgiveness differentiates it from reconciliation and guides parents in helping their children learn how and why to forgive.
