You were taught to say 'I'm sorry' and move on. Real healing takes more than that.

Many of us were taught at a young age to say “I’m sorry” and quickly move on. But real healing takes more than a simple apology—and far more than we were ever shown how to do.

As We Forgive: The Spiritual Practice of Forgiveness is a biblical exploration of forgiveness not as a forced moment or a transaction, but as a gentle, daily practice of hope, resilience, and healing. Drawing on Scripture and pastoral wisdom, Lahronda Welch Little shows how too often we grow up learning to bottle up hurt and skip over the difficult feelings that are a genuine part of the human experience God gave us—and how those unprocessed feelings block the grace and love of Jesus Christ from flowing freely in our lives and communities.

Across six chapters, As We Forgive explores what forgiveness is not, the tenets of forgiveness, where it hurts, self-forgiveness, granting and receiving forgiveness, and relationship goals—offering a practical, Scripture-grounded path toward letting go, reconnecting, and living with resilience.

Designed for individual reading or group study. Study components include a Leader Guide and DVD featuring Lahronda Welch Little teaching all six sessions.

Each book includes everything you need for a meaningful study experience — plus a redemption code to stream all video sessions and unlock leader resources online. Internet connection required. Code is non-transferable, may not be sold separately, and is subject to expiration.
