Is forgiveness possible even when there is no restitution and no remorse on the part of the perpetrator? Is forgiveness possible when your pain and loss seem unbearable and the perpetrator appears to suffer no consequence? Bestselling author Virginia H. Pearce declares, “We always have a choice when we are wounded. We can pass the pain on or return it. Or we can metabolize it and treat others differently than we’ve been treated.” Using real life examples and stories from the scriptures, she reveals that the greatest wounds we inflict are often those we have no idea that we are inflicting. But when we forgive others, we mirror God’s mercy to us.

Extending Forgiveness is a beautiful message of how to more fully incorporate forgiveness into a life. Virginia H. Pearce has struck a chord by pointing out that as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we honestly want to forgive but often are lost how to fully forgive or the implications of it. Sister Pearce wonderfully illustrates with personal stories and stories from the scriptures how to seek to forgive and what it can mean for us.
