I’ve got another book to giveaway thanks to Moody Publications!
The book is Choosing Forgiveness: Your Journey to Freedom by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. It is a powerful book that I’m about halfway through reading. I had planned to do the giveaway after I had finished reading and reviewing it myself. One quote about bitterness that has been in my mind all week is “Forgiveness is not a method to be learned as much as a truth to be lived.”
Then I decided…why wait?
I have two books this time so you have a double chance of winning! There are a few ways to enter:
- Leave a comment on this blog with a verse about God’s love or forgiveness.
- Join my facebook group, the Grace post, and leave a comment their with your favorite verse.
- You will get an extra entry if you blog about this contest on your own website. Just leave a trackback so I know who you are!
I will be choosing the winners in two weeks on March 14, 2010 at 9pm EST.
Good Luck!
Psalm 40:2-3 – He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire: He set my feet on a rock and game me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.
I John 4:7-8 Beloved let us love one another for love is of God and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God. He that loves not, knows not God, for God is love.
I love her books! Thanks for the give away!
Micah 7:18-19 Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in unchanging love.
He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea.
Psalm 86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. Psalm 103:8-13
Ephesians 4:32 – Be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
A familiar verse, but I’ve heard two sermons on it in the past month, and God has been teaching me a lot through this simple truth. Christ is our example of forgiveness.
Keri, you ought to review this for SI. As I told you, I’ve already read the book, and it is excellent stuff. DeMoss is solidly founded in scripture, as always…and insightful in application, as always! I think (no…I know, as many times as this has come up in counseling) this issue is at the crux of much loss of victory and joy in the lives of believers. Great giveaway!
Blessings,

Romans 8:38&39: “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ’s Jesus our Lord. ”
I cling to this verse daily. When trials, hardships and sorrows come and I do not understand God’s ways, I feel overwhelmed with the peace that this verse brings and the love that Christ has so graciously offered to me.
Isaiah 57:17-19
For the iniquity of his covetousness I was wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.
Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.
