Fighting Terror with Forgiveness
Many people are terrorized out of proportion to the real dangers they face. The key to personal peace, stability, and effectiveness is a strategy people don't use often enough: forgiveness.
(PRWEB) November 5, 2004 -- Want a good scare? Just watch the evening news. Today people may be more terrified of current events than any other time in modern history. It just adds to the brooding and anxiety we already carry around. What to do? Are we helpless?
Most people are terrorized out of proportion to the real dangers they face," says D. Patrick Miller, author of A LITTLE BOOK OF FORGIVENESS. In a time when politics is obsessed with the fear of terrorists, real forgiveness is the best tool we have for fighting terror where it actually starts: in our own minds."
Most people think of forgiveness as the last resort of losers -- what you do when you can't figure out how to get even with your enemies. But Miller says forgiveness is crucial not only to one's peace of mind, but to finding a way out of conflicts at work, at home, in politics and international relations. Recent scientific research is also proving the health benefits of forgiveness.
Miller's classic book featuring "Seven Steps of Forgiveness" is now available in a Tenth Anniversary hardcover edition with a Foreword by Dr. Fred Luskin, director of the Stanford Forgiveness Projects. The book has been released with an unabridged voice-and-music audio CD. See the Fearless Books website for more information, including the full essay, "Fighting Terror with Forgiveness," available for free reprinting.
