Forgiving What You Can't Forget

Discover How to Move On, Make Peace with Painful Memories, and Create a Life That’s Beautiful Again

If you’ve ever felt trapped in cycles of hurt, replaying painful moments you can’t seem to release, this book offers a path toward freedom. In Forgiving What You Can’t Forget, bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst gently guides readers through the deep, often complicated journey of forgiveness—especially when the other person won’t apologise, won’t change, or won’t acknowledge the hurt they caused.

Drawing from more than 1,000 hours of theological study, personal experience, and compassionate insight, Lysa helps you:
• Understand what the Bible truly teaches about forgiveness
• Stop the replay of painful memories that keep you stuck
• Walk through a step-by-step process toward emotional and spiritual healing
• Disempower triggers that hijack your peace
• Restore hope, trust, and possibility in your relationships
• Make space for a future that isn’t defined by past wounds

This is a tender, honest companion for anyone longing for peace but unsure how to begin letting go.

Why We Recommend It
Lysa writes with remarkable empathy—never rushing your pain, never minimising your story. Her biblical wisdom is practical, gentle, and deeply hopeful. We love this book because it helps readers see forgiveness not as pretending everything is fine, but as choosing freedom, healing, and a life made whole in Christ.

• Readers walking through complicated relationships
