In this book you will learn:

1) Forgiveness techniques
2) Ways to move past sticking points which prevent you from forgiving others
3) What the blocks to forgiveness are
4) Secrets that help you be successful in the forgiveness process
5) What forgiveness actually is (it may not be what you think)
