“There are two types of forgiveness. First, ‘decisional forgiveness’ can cancel an interpersonal debt caused by a transgression. A person simply decides to forgive.” (Page 121)
“It is said to change a behavior, first belief must be modified.” (Page 53)
“Decisional forgiveness does not deal with the emotions” (Page 122)
“Hidden deep underneath that surface anger is the fear, the hurt, the frustration, the disappointment, the vulnerability, and the longing for connection.” (Page 204)
