Forgiveness:
The Mystery and Miracle is a gift to us all since no one
avoids the reality of needing to deal with forgiveness,
including the challenging reality of forgiving ourselves. To
open her heart and soul to the world is an act of courageous
vulnerability, and in doing so, Annette Stanwick has
outlined a blueprint for living with power and passion,
regardless of any pain that has become part of our life
journey. Anyone who takes the message of this book to heart
will also be released to find the freedom, peace and power
that God ultimately wants for us all. |

It is my
experience as a Professional Therapist that until the
emotion of grief (due to losses in life), is expressed and
worked through, individual hearts cannot be open to
experiencing the joys and satisfactions of life. Forgiveness
is the key aspect of this healing process.
In Forgiveness: The Mystery and
Miracle, Annette Stanwick bares the deep woundedness of her
heart to us. She highlights how her choice to forgive as
Jesus forgave and taught, leads her to freedom and love, and
away from remaining stuck in woundedness. This book will
inspire the reader to consider Annette's practical
suggestions to transformation and new life. It will bring
renewed hope to all who seek healing. |

spirit and how positive choices can lead to freedom and

and the model Annette Stanwick shares in this book, we are
encouraged to seek healing from our own wounds.
This book encourages us to face
challenges head on, determining not to allow the struggles
of life to embitter, but rather to focus on letting go of
those things that bind our hearts. This book will help you
focus on finding your way. |

In Forgiveness:
The Mystery and Miracle an anguished soul opens to us as
Annette Stanwick shares her story of family losses,
intensified by the horrific murder of her dear brother
Soren. We are
privileged to learn from a spiritual journey that demanded
the full expression of her woundedness in an effort to move
towards the forgiveness of her brother's murderer that set
her free to love deeply again.
Her story of profound
suffering leads all of us to realize our need for courage,
honesty, prayer, forgiveness and ultimately God. |

A gift to
humanity! The world needs this book to guide us ever upward
in the spiral dance of healing. The author's pristine
transparent voice carries the painful story shared by too
many families who have lost loved ones to murder. It carries
a message of hope to all who have abruptly found themselves
belonging to a club for which they have not signed up.
Forgiveness: The Mystery and
Miracle invites the reader to process experiences of loss
through questioning and prayer. A welcomed uplifting
companion to those who are ready for the journey - the
freeing journey of forgiveness! |

This is a
fabulous book! It is an amazing story of the cycle of
bitterness and how bitterness can be broken. It is so
inspiring I want to give it as a gift to others. The author
is so real and so human in her vulnerability; you realize
she is just like the rest of us. The principles need to be
shared in schools so that children learn from a very young
age how to let go of their hurts. |

"I read
this book in amazement. It's the best book I've ever read on
grief and healing. (And I've read a lot of books!) The story
is amazing and the comments profound. I love the questions
at the end of each chapter. I'd like to use the book in
counseling women who need to work through issues of
bitterness, unforgiveness, fear and so many other things
this book touches on."

"You
are the first author ever to write in a style that moved me
to tears. What a powerful testimony to a powerful God! I
cried buckets of hot tears and I sobbed till I shook.
Because of your testimony I have (after more than 3 years)
been able to experience the freedom and peace forgiveness
brings. I have chosen to forgive a grand daughter who nearly
destroyed my son and his family... Only yesterday I came
face to face with her and forgave her! Without this book, it
would not have been possible."
