Withhold forgiveness? Sometimes the answer is yes!
This book explores the concept that it is appropriate at times to impose punishment instead of forgiveness when someone has done you wrong.

This book also looks at the Biblical remedy to sin and the resolution of grievances between people, whether friends, family or in churches. And that begins with repentance or bringing the sin to the forefront of the relationship. There can be no restoration of relationships without true repentance.

From the Author

Why should you feel guilty when the sin committed against you surpasses the "I'm sorry." of the sinner? Maybe that did heal your wounds, but did you feel restored to your friend or did you just act spiritual and say "Oh, that's ok"? 

That's what this book is trying to look at in depth. What are these terms we throw around like we know and expect everyone else to share the same conviction.

Be prepared to discover that it is often godly to hold back forgiveness for a time. Yep, don't forgive. Don't jump on me yet though, please read all that goes in to that process and what happens after you've decided to keep the forgiveness close for a while.
