RADICAL FORGIVENESS
by Colin Tipping

RADICAL Forgiveness occurs when we 'get it' that from a spiritual big picture standpoint that nothing wrong happened; that the situation was Divinely guided and was meant to happen that way for the highest good of all concerned. Furthermore, that our Higher Selves called forth the experience for our healing and our spiritual growth.

A radical idea, indeed. But Colin's beautifully written book thoroughly goes over why the world is in the shape it finds itself. He talks of how we can find that place of true peace and forgiveness within us, and therefore make changes in the world around us - and then provides solid, useful tools so that we can transform our hearts and minds. As we reweave the tapestries of our lives, pulling out the coarse threads of fear, victimization and resentment, we can add brilliant colors and textures of unconditional love, compassion and joy.

Testimonials about Colin's work and his writings are full of amazement and appreciation - from participants in his workshops to spirituality's leading lights, such as Neale Donald Walsch and Caroline Myss, the difference that Colin has made in people's lives is detailed with joy and gratitude.

This is only the first of Colin’s wonderful “Radical” series, but if you are in a "stuck place" in your life, and know that you have some deep-seated regrets and resentments that keep you from moving forward, RADICAL FORGIVENESS should be on your Must Read list for 2007.

Colin is the founder of the Institute for Radical Forgiveness Therapy and Coaching, Inc., and is the acknowledged authority on the application of radical forgiveness to healing individuals, families, corporations and communities.

Colin has a deep and visceral understanding of what forgiveness can do to change your personal worldview. As he explains, most of us think of forgiveness as "letting bygones be bygones" - which perhaps heals OVER the wound, but if a feeling that we were victimized in some form remains underneath, then there is no true healing. And many, many of us feel that if we forgive what was done to us, we are somehow "condoning" it. What? Say we deserved it? We can't - and the situation keeps fluctuating between condemnation of those that hurt us, and the effort to let it go. This effort can go on for years, subtly poisoning our own "self well" so that our souls never have the chance to "run clear" on the matter.
