Since the first edition of How to Forgive Yourself and Others was published in 1983, father Tobin has received many letters from people sharing their experience of forgiveness and reconciliation. When it came time to revise and expand his popular booklet, Father Tobin consulted those letter for help and suggestions.
What results is an even more complete guide to forgiveness. The booklet still contains all of the helpful material, including a simple plan for personal and interpersonal healing and the author’s personal experiences. But in this revised and expanded edition, Father Tobin deals with other important issues of reconciliation. He offers new guidelines for forgiving a deceased person – thought to be a crucial part of the grieving process.
