What People are Saying About Forty Days to Forgiveness

“Dr. Ronald Ramsey has written a very practical forty-day guide to help people on a journey of forgiveness. Each day has a meditation and an exercise that guides your experience toward the destination of forgiving. The approach is thoroughly biblical and yet draws on the most up-to-date science of forgiveness. If you’ve been struggling to forgive, this is well worth your investment of time.”

Everett L. Worthington Jr., PhD Commonwealth Professor Emeritus Department of Psychology www.EvWorthington-forgiveness.com

“There are many books on forgiveness available, and Dr. Ramsey has provided a uniquely accessible addition to the genre. His conversational style makes this an easy read for almost anyone. That is good because the depth of the experiential material he offers throughout will make Forty Days to Forgiveness, by design, slow going. This is not a page-turner. To get full benefit, the reader will need to thoughtfully consider the material and apply the ideas to the exercises provided. As a pastoral psychotherapist for nearly fifty years, I know that forgiveness is a major issue for many people. I would have liked to have had a book like this one that I could put in the hands of my clients to help them work through the process of forgiveness. It is a difficult journey through that wilderness, but Dr. Ramsey’s book provides a helpful guide.”

Rev. Wayne Perry, DMin, PhD, LMFT

“A practical, insightful guide to such a vital topic—forgiveness. Both biblical and relevant, Forty Days to Forgiveness was written from Dr. Ramsey’s thorough personal and professional experience as an expert on the topic. This is a much- needed book in today’s day and age for some much-needed forgiveness fuel— stronger than your morning coffee to start your day.”

Charlie Lapastora, Fox TV reporter and producer

“There are thousands of illnesses that plague humankind, which in medicine we seek not to only treat but also to identify the root cause. The countless deaths and lives detoured from their purpose because of the internal turmoil of unforgiveness are why you must read this book. Dr. Ramsey details the methodology to forgiveness and freedom. Adhere and be healed.”

“Forty Days to Forgiveness offers a clear, practical, intelligent, and highly spiritual approach to the vexing topic of forgiveness. Readers from many perspectives will be glad to take Dr. Ramsey’s journey along with him.”

“Forty Days to Forgiveness is an inordinately well-organized collection of descriptions, explanations, exercises, supporting scriptures, and encouraging prompts to aid a reader in moving through unforgiveness to forgiveness, relying on the example of Christ and reaching for the promise of a closer relationship with self, others, and God as a result of opening his or her heart to a transgressor and coming to develop compassion, mercy, and other such Christian traits. That Dr. Ron Ramsey has undertaken this journey himself and has struggled with forgiveness is clear, and this serves to establish his ethos, making him a credible narrator in whom the reader may have confidence. Guiding readers through the journey with actionable steps and ways to gain insight into their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to effect positive change, Dr. Ramsey performs a very valuable service, namely, instructing people on how to obey the biblical commandment that they forgive even when the Bible is largely silent on how to go about doing so. Forty Days to Forgiveness therefore fills a gap and meets a real need.”
