You will be encouraged to recapture everything bitterness has stolen from you.  This book will help you eliminate the bitterness in your heart and take back your life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEndorsements:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat happens when anger turns to bitterness? What are the effects of bitterness and how can our counselees get free of its grip? Would a perusal of Amazon.com point to books to help us find answers to these questions?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApparently not. Despite the prevalence of bitterness, there are few books dealing with the topic. Put aside those dealing with bitter foods, bitterness in politics or international affairs, and only a few general books remain. Maybe half are written by Christians; few appear to be helpful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Association of Christian Counselors member, Charles Gerber, produced an exception. His 300-plus page book looks at the causes and crippling effects of bitterness. It gives helpful and interesting profiles of bitter people in the Bible, describes how bitterness affects Christians, and presents biblically-based steps for getting free of bitterness.  Almost half the book deals with forgiveness, the ultimate answer to bitterness. It starts with a chapter on “the hardest person to forgive.” You can guess who that might be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a refreshing book, written by a Christian counselor who knows his psychology but is not bashful about bringing a lot of biblical information into his work. If you deal with bitter people, as we all do, or are bitter yourself, consider finding and reading this book. Healing from the grip of bitterness may occur.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Gary Collins\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs much as I am convinced that bitterness is a prison that 'locks you up and throws away the key,' I believe in the power of forgiveness to set a person free.  The keys to real freedom are found within the pages of this book!  With great compassion for people and obvious passion for for the Scriptures, Charles Gerber weaves the practicality of God's word through every insight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMike Breaux\u003cbr\u003eHeartland Community Church\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince forgiveness is one of the most compelling issues in our spiritual and emotional lives, this book on forgiveness is a vital link in God's plan for our spiritual and emotional maturity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Jim A.
