Forgiveness

The gift of God’s grace is boundless, both in beauty and its many dimensions. In these devotions written by incarcerated students from North Park Theological Seminary’s School of Restorative Arts program, we are inspired to freshly encounter and receive God’s grace. Through the theme of “reconciling grace,” we will pray together through the many dimensions of God’s grace. Let us be reminded that we can never fully plumb the depths of the riches of God’s amazing grace!

In this seven-day devotional, Skip Heitzig demonstrates the power of pardon, sharing how you can be liberated from the grip of unforgiveness.
