Author: C.S. Lewis
From "The Joyful Christian"
Notes: This short selection from The Joyful Christian (a book that collects chapters from many of Lewis' writings) may have been written decades ago, but has timeless content about forgiveness. As you reach beyond his analogy to forgiving the Gestapo, and into his rich discussion about what it means to love others as we love ourselves, open your mind to learning something new about forgiveness.
