"The unfortunate beauty of this book is that everyone is in dire need of it, whether they know it or not. Forgiveness is not a choice, nor is it a luxury; it is an imperative. We cannot hope to live in peace and freedom unless we learn how to forgive others and ourselves in the once-and-for-all manner that Bruce describes so well."

- Alan

"Do I feel differently about forgiveness? YES! I laughed, I cried, I danced, I wrote, I meditated. I stayed on the potter's wheel to let God do more work that had been hidden. A delight, a wonder."

- Katy

"Eye opening, profound, and liberating ... I felt called to actually forgive. I will recommend this to anyone I meet who has trouble forgiving."

- Steve

"Seeing a true picture of what forgiveness is - versus what I thought it was - is life changing. I was inspired to forgive. This book can revolutionize the lives of Jesus' followers."

- Penny

"Reading this book makes me cry for those who are still tormented by unforgiveness. It is life changing."

- Sheryl

"This book will produce enormous life change in anyone with an open heart to the invitation God has for them - freedom."

- Jennifer

"This could be the catalyst for a revival. Christ's church is soaking in bitterness, anger, and resentment. A fantastic book that must be widely read."

- David

"[This book] has changed how I view relationships. I definitely recommend it."

- Justin

''After reading this the first time, I marked my calendar for a 'Forgiveness Retreat' to reread and follow its directions to a tee. Would I recommend this book to others? YES! I think this is a valuable book. A life changer. A culture changer."

- Ken

''An unexpected emotional experience. I felt called, convicted, to actually forgive people - even my dad who passed away twenty-six years ago. I will recommend this to anyone I meet who has trouble forgiving."

- Steve

"This book is life altering, even if someone only reads it. It is life changing if they actually do it."

- Sammy

"I thought I was a good student of forgiveness, but the insights presented by Dr. Wilkinson have caused me to rethink what I believe. I see now that the forgiveness Jesus taught is intense and powerful. I put this book down weeks ago, but I'm still wrestling with what I read. And that's a good thing."

- Mike

"As a perfectionist, the person that is sometimes hardest to forgive is myself. Dr. B did a great job helping me to realize that not forgiving myself for sin, or even mistakes, is "a well-disguised root of pride and arrogance deep in my soul." His examples and steps for understanding and forgiving oneself have been life changing."

- Steve

"I did not realize how much weight I was lugging around on my back, and pretending it wasn't there, until I read this book. Unforgiveness is carrying around a backpack of varying weights of painful hurts and brokenness that attracts more weights of pain, making life harder and heavier. Reading this book helped me unload the unforgiving weight I was under, one painful hurt after another. I think regularly now about forgiveness, and take personal stock whether I'm allowing any unforgiveness to creep back into my life's backpack."

- Debbie

"The Freedom Factor is vintage Wilkinson - my favorite since his life-changing book, 'Secrets of the Vine.' This is a book that will motivate a reader to forgive, as well as show them how."
