Synopsis
Christian books on forgiveness are usually written to impart information—what forgiveness is, why we should forgive, what happens when we don't, how to forgive. Secular books on forgiveness teach similar concepts but leave Jesus out of the equation.Getting Rid of the Gorilla promotes no pat answers or simple-step solutions but comes alongside strugglers and puts an arm around their shoulders. Brian Jones combines his storytelling gift with bold and compassionate honesty and an ever-present awareness of the love of God and the value of the struggle.
