The Freedom to Forgive: A Christ-Centered, Trauma-Informed Workbook for Healing Emotional Wounds

The Freedom to Forgive is a Christ-centered, trauma-informed workbook created to help you explore forgiveness while honoring the emotional wounds underneath it—without spiritual bypassing.

Inside, you’ll explore forgiveness vs. reconciliation, grief and anger, trauma and nervous-system responses, boundaries, rebuilding trust, self-forgiveness, releasing resentment, and identity in Christ.

The workbook also uses powerful Biblical stories of healing and forgiveness, including Joseph, David, Hagar, Peter, Jesus, the Prodigal Son, and Stephen, connecting Scripture to betrayal, rejection, family wounds, broken trust, emotional pain, and restoration.
