About this ebook

T.D. Jakes, New York Times bestselling author of Reposition Yourself, Making Great Decisions, and more than a dozen other titles, presents this book on forgiveness, demonstrating once again why he is called “a spiritual genius,” a “master of meeting mankind eye to eye,” and one of America’s best preachers.

Jakes understands that he and fellow Christians share spiritual truths “that transcend time and culture and reflect a universal understanding of human nature.” The spiritual truth he explores in Let It Go concerns forgiveness and why it is important for those on the receiving end of wrongful behavior as well as those who commit acts of wrongdoing.

“Forgiveness is a big idea and it works best when it is invested into people who have the courage to grasp the seven-foot-high idea of what’s best for their future rather than the four-foot-high idea of recompense for what has happened in their past,” Jakes writes in Let It Go. This book explores forgiveness as an idea and at the same time offers specific and clear actions for readers who seek to apply the idea in their daily lives. Offenses are a part of life, he says. But conflicts can be resolved and relationships do have a future, if we learn how to forgive. No matter how great or small the injustice, Jakes shows how the matter can be put behind you for the sake of a better tomorrow if you can Let It Go.

Ratings and reviews

Was a great book that really put things into a great new prospective. Mentally opened many new doors, while giving me more of idea on how to cope on everyday situations and why they happen. Highly recommended for anybody trying to gain insight on basic life knowledge. Truly learning to forgive is essential to learning to heal and move past what has happened, to become a stronger and wiser human being. This book guided me step by step on how to properly do so. I have almost the whole book highlighted!

I'm in the process of healing and reconciliation of my marriage. This book changed how I look, see, and feel about my wife. The Bishop is awesome and so inspiring. I loved this book so much that I hope to visit his church in Texas for a service someday.

Absolutely the best book hands down I started my journey of forgiving before I started reading this book and love the fact that I'm on the correct path of freedom of my heart and deep rooted issues. I look forward to my new journey.
