Riassunto

* Have you been forgiven but you still feel guilty?

* Does something from your past nag away despite all your best efforts to shrug it off?

* Do mistakes loom large in your thinking and do your conversations start with an apology?

Many people are paralysed with guilt. Guilt robs you of freedom, peace and joy. It can make you feel unacceptable or isolated. Jesus' forgiveness is the ultimate remedy for guilt, but even for those who believe, guilty feelings can still present a lingering problem.

The Guilt Book combines biblical theology and modern psychology, offering a fresh perspective and helping us differentiate between our true guilt, for which forgiveness is needed, and false guilt, for which a psychological approach will help.

Together, we will challenge entrenched cycles of guilt, with their associated feelings of hopelessness and despair. Freedom from persistent guilt is possible. Peace is worth fighting for.

Recensione

Will van der Hart and Rob Waller have forged a formidable alliance between pastor and psychiatrist to author an original and mind-changing book. Anchored in the teaching of Bible, and faithfully shaped by it, 'The Guilt Book' integrates wide-ranging insights from modern psychology as well as the authors' extensive clinical and pastoral experience. Distinguishing between true guilt and the many disguises of false guilt, they succeed in making the complex simple, whilst never being simplistic. Their counsel is biblical, intellectually rigorous and intensely practical. Read this book quickly. And then read it again, slowly and reflectively.You will be challenged, provoked, and quite possibly liberated by its wise counsel. --Glynn Harrison, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Bristol and author of 'The Big Ego Trip'

Guilt is something I have always been weighed down by, and I know so many friends who have the same battle, reliving situation after situation in our heads. This book looks both theologically and practically at helping me see where my thinking has gone wonky and helping me to realise it does''t have to be that way. Can't really recommend it highly enough! I shall be returning to it over and over. --Katherine Welby, writer and blogger

Here's a great resource which is well based in the Bible and contemporary counselling practice and yet is practical, manageable, and provides a step-by-step guide towards being set free from guilt, as Christ intends. --Derek Tidball, Former Principal of London School of Theology
