Don't You Dare Forgive Unless

In this deeply personal and encouraging book, best-selling author and beloved pastor Fr. Joe Kempf takes an honest look at the complexities of forgiveness. With Fr. Joe’s signature heart and humor, he gently reminds us that “Forgiveness is not optional for those who want a joy-filled, meaningful life. It is essential to our souls; it is the heart of truly holy and happy living.” Filled with stories of real-life situations of hurt and betrayal, Fr. Joe asks the difficult questions about what it takes to truly forgive someone, and when and how to give ourselves the space to heal in the arms of our loving God. When the heartaches come, these reflections, prayers, and stories will help guide us toward the life-changing power of following Jesus beyond the cross to forgiveness and new life.Joe Kempf
