The Power of Forgiveness

An honest, irreverent and inspiring book on forgiveness that handles the betrayal and hurts we all face.

Sometimes revenge seems a whole lot sweeter and easier than forgiveness. But is it really worth it? Finding the courage and ability to forgive someone who has hurt you can be the hardest thing, so what are the challenges and benefits of letting go?

Like most of us Janise Beaumont has been betrayed, and has at times been less than generous to others. In this practical, warm and down-to-earth guide, Janise weaves incredible stories of forgiveness with her own ups and downs and shows us that as hard as it is, forgiveness is worth it in the end, because it is courageous and heroic.

Tips on forgiveness:

  • Revenge is not all it's cracked up to be.
  • If you can't remember why you hate someone, it's definitely time to give them a 'get out of jail' card.
  • Hating with passion will take its toll and give you wrinkles. You'll have much less energy for the good things in life, such as loving, laughing and happy endings.
  • Live in the moment. That's all there is and no amount of wishing will erase the day you wounded a friend, or they caused you heartache. It happened, and today it's history. Now is the time to be happy, and the bonus is when you forgive, it's you who wins.
  • Forgive everyone (if you can)… and if the door is sometimes slammed in your face when you turn up with an olive brand, what do you care? You'll still feel better than you did when you were carrying round all that rage.

    Janise Beaumont is a working journalist with a background in newspapers, radio and TV. She has a lovely sense of humour, and a wealth of experience and travels to draw on.
