WHAT THE READERS ARE SAYING:

 

The Forgiveness Journey 

“One of the best books I’ve read about letting go of grudges. Covers the topic from different points of view. I particularly like the author’s writing style.”
 

“Very unique and different. Not your run-of-the-mill type of forgiveness book.”

 

“I read this book, and it was such a great release of hatred and so much much more. But I’ll never ever forget it.” 

 

“The best book I’ve read so far on forgiveness and releasing the heavy baggage of grudges.”

 

“A powerful book and must read, if you are having a hard time with forgiving. I’ve read a lot of book on forgiveness, but this book covered topics that I’ve would never have thought about.”

 

“The author writes with passion, a bit of humor, and incredible insight. She openly shares her own struggles and how her life was changed when she was able to forgive grudges that lasted for many years. She also offers tools, exercises and interviews that come to life, the grieving aspects of forgiveness , and so much more. The emphasis is that forgiveness heals the forgiver.” 

 

“Her writing style is very warm, and it feels as if you’re having a conversation with the author.”

 

“No preaching in this book. Just wisdom and insight.”

 

“The Forgiveness Journey, by Nella Coiro, shares a beautiful insight. Namely, that we are all capable of forgiveness, no matter how hurt we feel…  Forgiveness, Coiro states, doesn’t always mean reconciliation, but it means relieving ourselves of our emotional pain. She outlines a 9-step program, plus relaxation & meditation exercises, to help us on our path to recover joy and peace of mind. Forgiving our parents, children, partners, spouses, siblings, ourselves, and even chronic illness, are topics she covers. She also shares her own story of forgiveness, a story remarkable in its honesty.”

 

“Written in an encouraging and compassionate voice, The Forgiveness Journey can help those of us trapped in the agony of hurt and blame to finally see the way out and forgive.”

The Forgiveness Journey Workbook 

“Healing, Unique, Uplifting, Witty, yet dead-on serious, and powerful! I read Ms. Coiro‘s other book about forgiveness, and it really opened my eyes and made me realize that I was suffering from my own hate. It was a page-turner for sure. Once I began to do the exercises and answer the questions in this workbook, I was surprised and it really helped me to understand myself a lot better. I’m still working with the book, and haven’t finished yet. I’m about half way through. I love the way this author writes. She is so compassionate, yet firm. She has a nice sense of humor too, which I just love about her. She’s also open about how she got through some of her own struggles, and some unexpected ones, after she wrote her first book, so I can see that she understands and wants to share this gift. Also like the 12 step references, I’m a big fan!”

“I read Nella Coiro’s other book on forgiveness, and it helped me a lot, so I was anxious to read the workbook. In this workbook she explores additional insights and the questions were very powerful in helping me to hone in on what I was really feeling. I can tell she put a lot of thought into the essays and thought-provoking questions.”

 

“The workbook helped me to identify feelings and that I was unaware of and gain a deeper understanding of myself. Even if you didn’t read the first book, this workbook can help you to let go of the pain of lingering grudges, and help you to get a deeper understanding about yourself.”

 

“Very good workbook. Raises questions that helped me to understand myself better. I especially  loved the mindfulness chapter and the final chapter.”

 

“Fantastic workbook. Deep, thorough, helpful, well-written.”

 

I read this author’s other book, The Forgiveness Journey, and I loved it. So enlightening, helpful and healing. The workbook was also terrific! It helped me to work through years of anger and hate, and I feel so relieved and healed. I will never forget this experience.
