"Forgiven, 490 Times" was written because of the broad need of Jesus' disciples and the unbelieving to understand what forgiveness really means, and the tangible relief experienced in one's conscience through the forgiveness of sins.

Book Description
FORGIVENESS! This is what we all need and want from time to time and as quickly as possible. However, depending on the offense, we are slow and reluctant to extend it to others. There are few things more challenging to practice than forgiveness--even for Christians who have been forgiven for so much. The title of this book, as well as the content, is based on Jesus' reply to Peter when the apostle asked how often should you forgive a person (Matthew 18:21-35). If we don't forgive others, our heavenly Father will not forgive is (Matthew 6:14, 15). Jesus continued that we must forgive seventy times seven: 70x7= 490. Thus the title. This book covers every aspect of forgiveness. It is perfect for private reading and study as well as class study.

Book Description
Helps readers move beyond the wounds and baggage of bitterness, disagreements, and broken relationships. "True or false: most Christian pastors and counselors agree on what forgiveness is and how it should take place." This question is part of Chris Brauns's Forgiveness Quiz that draws readers into his book and gets them thinking about the subject of forgiveness. The truth is, pastors and counselors disagree profoundly on this subject. Unpacking Forgiveness combines sound theological thinking and honesty about the complicated questions many face to provide readers with a solid understanding of biblical forgiveness. Only God's Word can unpack forgiveness. The wounds are too deep for us to find healing on our own, and the questions are too complex to be unraveled by anything but the wisdom of God. This book goes beyond a feel-good doctrine of automatic forgiveness, balancing the beauty of God's grace and the necessity of forgiveness with the teaching that forgiveness must take place in a way that is consistent with justice.

Book Description
Having seen anger, resentment, and bitterness consume too many lives, the author of this book argues that forgiveness is the only route to relieving the sting of life's deepest hurts. Seventy times seven tells stories of real people scarred by crime, betrayal, abuse, and war-people who have earned the right to tell you that forgiveness is the only way out. Arnold won't ask you to excuse, ignore, or forget your wounds. He knows forgiving isn't easy. But he is convinced, as are the men and women you'll meet in this book, that it is possible.

Book Description
"'No, not seven times,' Jesus replied, 'but seventy times seven!'" (Matthew 18:22) So much in Scripture is made of forgiveness because it is the true model of godliness. Anyone can hate or want to seek revenge; forgiveness is the full power of God and it is what makes you complete. Remember that the unrefined man--the sinner who hasn't yet met Jesus--offends you out of ignorance. Because his spirit is dead he literally doesn't know what he is doing whether it is the seventh time or the seventieth time--or the 490th time! This 30-Day Reading Plan takes ancient texts and applies them to modern life; they build on each other and prove that God gave us all the answers way back then because he knew we would need them now! The only things that changed are time and technology; the hopes and dreams of men and women are the same, and the solution is the same. So be very encouraged--forgiveness is just as powerful and redeeming today as it ever was! And it's all yours.

Book Description
Demystifying an unrealistic ideal Maria Mayo questions the contemporary idealization of unconditional forgiveness in three areas of contemporary life: so-called Victim-Offender Mediation involving cases of criminal injury, the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-apartheid South Africa, and the pastoral care of victims of domestic violence. She shows that an emphasis on unilateral and unconditional forgiveness puts disproportionate pressure on the victims of injustice or violence and misconstrues the very biblical passages—especially in Jesus’ teaching and actions—on which advocates of unconditional forgiveness rely.
