Discussion Question from Caring for People God’s Way

Topic: Discussion Question from Caring for People God’s Way – Chapter 6 Dealing successfully with forgiveness issues is crucial to the health of any marriage. Consider Worthington’s “injustice gap” experiential theory as an explanation for the impact a personal offense has on an individual (p. 121). Now consider his concepts of “decisional forgiveness” and “emotional forgiveness” as desired goals of the forgiveness process. Think of a past offense in your life and envision using the REACH process tool to move to a place of “decisional forgiveness” and “emotional forgiveness.” How would you respond to the process? What key points of resistance do you predict would challenge you?
