Recensioner i media

This beautiful graphic book is so important to communicate the F word: forgiveness. Forgiveness is so powerful because it makes our society and ourselves more moral. It can break the cycle of revenge and re-humanize perpetrators of violence, and enable them to change. Forgiveness can enable perpetrators to discover empathy for their victims and can bring about truth and reconciliation. The list of powerful results of forgiveness is long, and for the first time is communicated in an engaging artistic way by one of my favourite charities with Dr Masi Noor. This book will become a moral guide to readers, including young people, on how to make the world a better place.
