Celebrating Compassion: A Liberating Spirituality of Forgiving respectfully zeros in on those touchy, sensitive questions confronting us if we've ever been seriously offended and find it difficult to let go and to forgive. Without doubt, the difficult passage to such compassion needs to be couched in solid inviting spirituality. At the same time, for those who genuinely long for mercy but are summarily disregarded, this book equally offers a stanch and supportive catechesis.

Gerard Martin writes a compelling, easy to read book on the spiritual gift we all have, that some of us find difficult to give to another, the gift of forgiveness. This is a must-read book if one is struggling with hurts and memories that are affecting their lives. Truly an inspirational and liberating guide that you want to read over and over again.

Your book is very good to me because it causes me 'to dig and delve.' In my opinion it is not merely for reading. It calls for reflection and meditation helping us to a better understanding with God. There are 'zingers' on virtually every page.

I'm on the second time around on your book and gaining more insights as I go.

In Celebrating Compassion, Gerard Martin examines sorrow and forgiveness from every angle, asking all the right questions and probing more deeply into what forgiveness involves than we would usually consider.

""Kay Taylor

The author is a pilgrim like anyone else. Knowing the need of compassion, still, he realizes it isn't always easy to forgive another. Unpacked from within the mercy challenge itself, the themes of this book are reflections rising out of extensive, personal inner work, as well as interaction with others. Hopefully, the text speaks for itself.
