One of the best books I have read on the area of forgiveness comes from the pen of L. Gregory Jones entitled Embodying Forgiveness. In this book he talks about forgiveness as a craft to be learned. Listen to how he puts it:
"Learning a craft is accomplished more by participating in particular activities under the guidance of those who excel than by studying texts (unless that study is conceived of precisely as a practice in which the apprentices and the exaplars are engaged together). To be sure, there is an important place for reading books: even so, they ought to be seen as aids to a much larger and more comprehensive craft rather than as a primary means by which someone comes to understand a craft such as forgiveness."
So let's go out and practice the craft of forgiveness and teach others to do this as well, so that we might be a sign, foretaste and instrument of his kingdom. Peace.
