Praise for Moving Forward
“A compassionate and very personal examination of the hows and whys
of self-forgiveness. Blending the sensitivity of a counselor with
the rigor of a scientist is no easy accomplishment, and that is
what has made Everett Worthington the most sought-after expert on
forgiveness for nearly two decades. Read this book and learn how to
move forward in your own journey of self-forgiveness.”
—Robert Emmons, editor-in-chief of The Journal of Positive
Psychology, author of Gratitude Works! and Thanks! How Practicing
Gratitude Can Make You Happier
“Why do we see the need to forgive others while overlooking the
importance of forgiving ourselves? Everett Worthington knows from
hard experience that both are necessary, but neither is easy. Now
you can benefit from his years of research—as well as life-tested
application—in taking the only path that will free you from shame
and self-condemnation.”
—Dr. Tim Clinton, president of the American Association of
Christian Counselors, executive director of the Center for
Counseling and Family Studies at Liberty University
“Researcher-clinician Everett Worthington, the world’s leading
expert on the science and practice of forgiveness, now points the
way to self-forgiveness. For those of us who are painfully aware of
our flaws—and that’s most of us—this grace-filled book shows how to
lighten the burden of self-blame and guilt, how to discover and
embrace God’s love, and how to experience healing.”
—David G. Myers, Hope College social psychologist, author of A
Friendly Letter to Skeptics and Atheists
“Who doesn’t know the feeling of being stuck in a rut or
weighed down with self-condemnation? This book is for all of us who
are honest enough to confess our need to make peace with ourselves.
Dr. Worthington has suffered through darkness and now uses the
story of his personal pain to light the way for all of
us. Read Moving Forward and join him on the inspiring journey
of self-forgiveness and true peace.”
—Les Parrott, PhD, author of Shoulda Coulda Woulda
