The Power of Forgiveness

The Power of Forgiveness by author Michael Cooley Sr. is a nonfiction work of Christian
living and Christian theology that walks readers through biblical forgiveness in order for
them to achieve victory over pain from past hurts and abuse. Using his own personal life
experience of being held up by robbers as a teenager, and the emotional and spiritual effects
of this traumatic incident, author Michael Cooley Sr. walks readers through steps toward
forgiveness and victory over the hurt and pain of the past. These steps to forgiveness
include facing the past, overcoming fears, asking others for help, and relying on God for
protection and healing, in addition to prayer and thanksgiving. Through application
questions at the end of each chapter, readers will be drawn into their own journey of
healing through forgiveness. Christian devotional; pastoral care; Christian counseling;
