The first part of this little book on getting rid of bitterness and forgiving others has been presented many times over the last twenty years at many retreats and Bible conferences. Hundreds of the taped messages have been distributed, here and abroad. Several years ago our oldest son, Douglas, had his secretary, Chris LaMoreaux, transcribe one of these tapes and after much editing printed 1000 copies of it as a book. Since that time about 32,000 have been printed, most of which have been distributed to people who have requested it. I am grateful for the professional editorial services of Mr. Southy Grinalds on this edition. With this edition I have added five articles reprinted from the Hammer because first, they are related; second, they are short and would not get the needed distribution on their own; third, they are subjects which are not normally taught.
