The Other Side of Forgiveness recounts how God met Laura as a traumatized adult who unknowingly was still suffering from the impact of childhood abuse. Anxiety, depression, and self-loathing had taken over her life, and she sat precariously on the edge of survival, unable to function and considering death. During this time, God graciously revealed to Laura that harboring unforgiveness was truly at the core of her pain. He challenged her to trust Him, which began her journey to the other side of forgiveness.
Because of her experiences, Laura seeks to help others avoid the delays and obstacles to forgiveness. No matter what relationship trauma you have faced or are experiencing, whether it is divorce, separation, rejection, death, or something else, recovery and healing begin with forgiveness. This book uncovers how to find freedom and wholeness when it seems unattainable.
