This workbook is designed to help you identify and end your resentments. It will explain how anger from a single incident can turn into bitter resentment. The exercises ask you to confront your resentments to see how they are affecting your life. Finally, the exercises on forgiveness will take you through the stages necessary for a reconciliation-if not with others, then at least with yourself.
