Forgiven

Terri Roberts has released a new book entitled Forgiven. It’s the story about God’s remarkable grace amid a tragedy, and His enablement to release and forgive.

I caught up with Terri to talk to her about her new book.

Enjoy!

Why did you write Forgiven?

Terri Roberts:  I have experienced hope and joy through remarkable forgiveness within my community. It’s a real-life story of God’s grace that the world needs to hear. 

Tell us a bit about the experiences that shaped the insights in the book.

Terri Roberts:  Our son was responsible for the worst crime I had ever heard of, and it tore apart the lives of many in our community. Instead of bitterness and rejection, I experienced love and compassion from those who were wounded by his actions. Because of the way they embraced me, I was able to move forward to face another day. Now I am thriving in the community beyond what I could have ever imagined.

Give us two or three insights from the book that would be helpful to Christians.

Terri Roberts:  Choosing to forgive keeps us from becoming bitter. We don’t need to live in our sorrow 24/7. We can recognize it as a part of our history while asking God to create new tomorrows to soften our pain. The peace that passes understanding is possible—it means facing the hard places with gratitude within our circumstances, not avoiding them.

What do you hope readers will walk away with after they finish your book?

Terri Roberts: A new confidence in moving into one tomorrow after another.

What has the response to the book been so far?

Terri Roberts: Readers have been incredibly thankful to discover nuggets that they’d never considered before. They’ve shared emotional stories of how they’ve released bitterness.

What else do you wish to say about it?

Terri Roberts: The circumstances of our lives are so varied. My life story has inspired many, and I would love to hear readers tell me how it has touched their lives as they join me in this journey.
