Radical Forgiveness: It's time to wipe your slate clean! - Softcover

Total freedom.
Complete cleansing.
Satisfying results.
That’s God’s radical forgiveness! But what does it look like in your life?
What does it mean to really forgive those who have hurt you? To forgive yourself for the dumb things you’ve done? To forgive God for what he has—or hasn’t—done?

Radical Forgiveness will help you understand personally the profound, life-changing power of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross...and the resulting forgiveness that’s so compelling, so radical, that you can’t help but be “stopped in your tracks” by it.

With gutsy honesty, humor, and her friendly, sassy style, Julie Ann Barnhill reveals how you can live with a lighter heart in spite of your burdens. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll empathize—because you’ll see yourself.

Radical Forgiveness will transform your thoughts and relationships for good!

The female evangelical audience is already familiar with Chonda Pierce's onstage antics, but many Christian women have not yet become acquainted with the zany humor of Barnhill, author of Scandalous Grace. Barnhill's popularity will be on the rise because of this book, which deals with forgiveness with self-deprecating remarks and cut-to-the-chase admonitions. Barnhill tackles this oft-worn subject with constant, sometimes biting humor, yet she succeeds in bringing circumspect and serious closure to each topic. Discussing her own failings, Barnhill shares personal stories, such as the time her flight was delayed and she had to decide whether to rent a car to reach her speaking engagement. While contemplating the pros and cons of locating and renting a car, the author, at perpetual high speed, rattled on and on despairingly until her spouse reminded her that she had driven herself to the airport. By so admitting to imperfection, Barnhill asserts that believers will jump-start their journey toward discovering and embracing divine forgiveness. While Christian women will find much humor in Barnhill's text, the fast pace of the opening chapters isn't steady throughout; midway, Barnhill relies heavily on pages of quotes from readers rather than supplying her own material. Despite this disappointing finish, Barnhill will surely welcome back old fans and endear herself to new ones.
