You deserve to stop suffering because of what other people have done to you.

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind? You know you can’t go on like this, but you don’t know what to do next. Lysa TerKeurst has wrestled through this journey. But in surprising ways, she’s discovered how to let go of bound-up resentment and overcome the resistance to forgiving people who aren’t willing to make things right.

In Forgiving What You Can’t Forget, Lysa’s deep empathy, therapeutic insight, and rich Bible teaching, coming out of more than 1,000 hours of theological study, will help you:

  • Learn how to move on when the other person refuses to change and never says they’re sorry.
  • Walk through a step-by-step process to free yourself from the hurt of your past and feel less offended today.
  • Discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and the peace that comes from living it out right now.
  • Identify what’s stealing trust and vulnerability from your relationships so you can believe there is still good ahead.
  • Disempower the triggers hijacking your emotions by embracing the two necessary parts of forgiveness.

If you are ready to begin the process of healing and moving forward, Lysa has some words of comfort and encouragement for you as you begin the journey:

“Dear friend, I understand, deeply and personally, how hard it is when someone does something unchangeable that also feels unforgivable. I’ve cried countless tears and wrestled through so many questions.

If you can relate, you’re in the right place. Within these pages, your heart will be tenderly held. Your thoughts don’t need to be edited. Your resistance is understood. But there are some biblical perspectives to consider that have finally brought peace into my life. And I want the same for you.

And if no one else has ever said they’re sorry for your deep pain, I will. My heart breaks for what breaks so many of us. So, let me take your hand and lead you through how forgiveness is not only possible but is one of the most healing decisions to embrace.”

  1. Jary Payseno –

    I asked God how I could forgive a person who hasn’t said sorry. Weeks later, I stumbled upon this book while searching for books to strengthen my faith. I haven’t even finished this book yet but I felt called to tell others about how amazinginly well written it is. I am even underlining in pen the sentences that stand out to me the most and have the most power behind them. I can’t exactly express just how much truth and richness is in this book. It’s a message that teaches you to forgive others through the power of Christ without ignoring your feelings or even trying to make light of a horrible wrong. It is a gentle message without accusations and judgement and I truly find so much grace and truth in it just by turning to page 8. If you feel even the slightest pull, nudge or call to buy this book, then please do. I have faith that God lead me to it for a reason. God have all the glory and bless this lovely author.

    When I first picked up Lysa TerKeurst’s “Forgiving What You Can’t Forget,” I wasn’t sure what to expect. The title alone felt like someone had reached into my chest and pulled out the exact thing I’d been wrestling with for years—that exhausting cycle of replaying hurt, nursing grudges, and wondering why forgiveness felt so impossible when the other person wasn’t even sorry.

    What struck me immediately was how honest TerKeurst is about the struggle. She doesn’t pretend forgiveness is simple or that you’ll wake up one day magically healed. Instead, she sits with you in the uncomfortable space where most of us actually live—stuck between knowing we should forgive and feeling absolutely justified in our anger. That’s refreshing.

    The book combines personal stories, theological depth (drawing from over 1,000 hours of study), and practical frameworks that actually feel doable. There’s real wisdom here about how to release bitterness even when the other person never apologizes, never changes, never makes it right. Because let’s be honest—that’s the scenario many of us are actually facing.

    What I appreciated most was the step-by-step process for working through hurt. It doesn’t feel preachy or oversimplified. It feels like someone who’s been there, who understands the weight of carrying resentment, offering you a genuine way out.

  3. Grace Palmer –

    I read Forgiving What You Can’t Forget in just a few days, it was that impactful. This book really opened my eyes to areas of forgiveness I still needed to work through after experiencing infidelity in a past relationship. It was honest, emotional, and incredibly insightful without feeling overwhelming. Overall, it’s a great book, and I would highly recommend it to anyone trying to heal, let go, and find a healthier path toward forgiveness.

  4. Hannah Callicutt –

    This book was exactly what I needed at the right time. Lysa doesn’t just give you “fluff” or tell you to “get over it.” She acknowledges how much it hurts and provides a biblical, step-by-step framework for letting go of resentment. Her vulnerability about her own marriage and pain made me feel so understood. The “forgiveness journal” sections were a game-changer for my healing journey. If you are struggling with a deep wound, please read this.

  5. M. S. Arthur –

    Written in clear and precise language, the author shares her personal journey and offers insight on how to let go of feelings that keep you from enjoying your life to the fullest.

  6. Melany iglesias –

    This book is a powerful and emotional journey. Lysa TerKeurst writes with honesty and vulnerability, making it easy to connect with her words. She doesn’t offer quick fixes, but instead shares practical steps and spiritual insights that guide you through the process of forgiveness and healing.

    What I loved the most is how real and compassionate her voice feels—like a friend who understands your pain and gently points you toward freedom. It’s not just theory; it’s filled with relatable experiences and biblical wisdom that actually help you move forward.

    If you’re carrying hurt, betrayal, or just struggling to let go of the past, this book can be a turning point. It’s both comforting and challenging, and it reminded me that forgiveness is possible, even when it feels impossible.
    Highly recommended for anyone looking for hope, peace, and a new perspective on forgiveness.
