It takes a lot of willingness and practice to see life from God's perspective. Perhaps nothing goes more against the grain of human nature than the ideas of forgiving those who wound us and accepting forgiveness from others. The second release in the Companions in Christ Series, The Way of Forgiveness explores how to deal with these issues to preserve "the beauty of our souls" and to fulfill the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. In this 8-week study, Thompson breaks down the transformational process by first examining shame, guilt, and anger. A full release of these feelings not only leads to the wholeness that Christ taught but also takes us on a path of freedom and joy. A unique feature of this book is the inclusion of a reproduction of Rembrandt's Return of the Prodigal Son. Over the course of the study, the artwork will serve as a focal point for reflection and discovery. A Leader's Guide for The Way of Forgiveness is available.

I always knew I would be a wife and mother so much I dreamt of it in my early teens. And even though I married later in life I still believed. Shortly after marriage we prepared for our baby. Then suddenly all the excitement, hopes and plans that went along with parenting a child on earth were short lived. Our son was born with Trisomy 18. The Lord obviously was prepping me my entire life by caring for others on their death bed for such a moment with my boy. I was able to prepare my boy for heaven. This journey has strengthened my walk with the Lord beyond all my expectations. And leaves me grieving with great hope. Kimmy was born and raised in North Chicago, Illinois. And was always adventurous so she knew she would move away and was led to Florida on an assignment of her life. . She truly believes all the roads she's walked with the Lord prepped her for the loss of her precious baby boy. Her life has had sorrow, but much more joy of knowing she will reunite with him is comforting as 1 Thessalonians 13-18 says. Her prayer is for more angel parents to learn how real Jesus is and come into the knowledge and saving grace of Jesus Christ.
