Media Reviews
Healing Agony is a searching analysis of forgiveness challenging simplistic assumptions and asks questions to which there are no easy answers. Stephen Cherry is unafraid to confront the complexities of one of the great issues of our time. -- The Rt Revd the Lord Eames OM, former Archbishop of Armagh * Pre-publication *
This fascinating book holds together a Christian hope in the ultimate possibility of forgiveness, even when faced with the deepest wounds, combined with an honest and realistic understanding of the complexity of the venture, as one tries to become, slowly, a forgiving person. -- Timothy Radcliffe OP * Pre-publication *
There is something mysterious and deeply rewarding about reading a book which perfectly and beautifully sums up an internal dialogue that you've been having with yourself for years. I've been exposed to many theories and analyses on the meaning of forgiveness, but nothing has been presented to me with such clarity and eloquence as Healing Agony.This book is a welcome antidote to a growing movement which promotes forgiveness as a panacea for all ills and thus creates a social and moral imperative around something that is deeply personal, always different, and which should be free of obligation and guilt. It is about the best book I've read on this complicated subject. -- Marina Cantacuzino, Founder and Director of The Forgiveness Project * Pre-publication *
This is a very important book on a very important subject - forgiveness. * REFORM Magazine, September 2012 *
