Forgiving and Reconciling was written by Everett L.Worthington Jr. and was named as the Templeton Foundation Book of Distinction in 2003.

Psychologist and counsellor Everett Worthington elaborates that forgiveness should be seen as a gift to others rather than a personal relief of feeling that is aimed at 'getting over' the hurt.

Through his expertise as a scientific researcher, Worthington provides his knowledge and insight into what forgiveness truly means in God's eyes and how an understanding of this can help a person to forgive and reconcile with the ones that hurt us.
