Counterfeit Forgiveness

"Counterfeit Forgiveness" by Teasi Cannon critically examines modern conceptions of forgiveness, contrasting secular ideas of emotional self-healing with biblical teachings rooted in repentance and reconciliation. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and her personal experience as an abuse survivor, Cannon exposes the dangers of a popular, therapeutic model of forgiveness and highlights its divergence from Jesus’ teaching. Written with compassion and clarity, the book aims to restore a biblically faithful understanding of forgiveness as God intended.
