Ever wondered how many Bible verses on forgiveness there are?
The Bible is full of stories that show you just what real forgiveness looks like and teach you how to forgive those who have wronged you—even if that person is yourself.
You can pre order a copy of my new book Forgiving Others, Forgiving Me to read them all in context, however I have listed them below if you wish to look them up yourselves. I'm so grateful to my publisher for putting together a free eBook or PDF download for you to read through.
Do not be afraid to find each verse in your Bible and mark it up. Maybe God will say something new to you through Scripture on forgiveness.
And remember: Do not fear. God has your back and He will help you journey through the valley of unforgiveness up to the mountaintop of peace.

"In Forgiving Others, Forgiving Me, Renee Fisher not only encourages readers to take on the task of forgiveness but challenges readers to dig into Scripture to find true forgivenss. I love that Renee doesn't just discuss the topic of forgiving others. For so many people, the idea of forgiving themselves keeps them from accepting the utmost forgiveness of Jesus. With a topic that touches everyone's lives (whether or not we like to admit it), Renee will be a cheerleader and mentor in the journey of forgiveness and a more fulfilling Christian walk." - Sarah Francis Martin

The discussion questions and journaling space at the end of each chapter ensure that Forgiving Others, Forgiving Me will not be merely an intellectual exercise, but a journey of heart and soul that will free readers to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives." - Ava Pennington
"What a joy it has been to watch Renee Fisher grow and mature as a young woman and a writer. I first met her when she attended our writers conferences as an enthusiastic young writer. Then she landed her first book contract and was soon teaching others. In her newest effort, Forgiving Others, Forgiving Me, she demonstrates maturity, vulnerability, and insight in taking on a difficult subject. At one point she says, 'You can’t just treat the symptoms—you have to get to the source.' Renee gets right to the source of learning to forgive in a powerful way that takes the reader on a journey of confronting and loving oneself, those around us, and most importantly, God. Inspirational, practical, and so very helpful!" - Jennie Gillespie
"Forgiving Others, Forgiving Me is a deeply personal book that takes readers on a journey that leads into their own heart--and self-doubts. Rather than focusing on your painful past, however, Renee Fisher invites you to confront and conquer the deeply-rooted emotions that draw you farther from the Lord. The journaling section at the end of each chapter ensures that the reader search within her own self, rather than breezing through the book only hearing the stories of the author. Forgiveness is much easier to talk about than it is to put into place, but Renee will remind you that it is all worthwhile as you find reconciliation in the unconditional grace of Jesus." - Lisa Copen
"God continually gives a gift in the form of forgiveness, but it's easy to become stuck in shame from past mistakes and stuck in resentment from past wounds. In Forgiving Others, Forgiving Me you will be implicated in this struggle of allowing God's forgiveness to shape your life. Grab this book and take on the life-altering challenge of forgiving others and yourself." - Tyler Braun
"Forgiveness is an extremely difficult thing to do, but Renee successfully uses Scripture and real life stories to demonstrate both why forgiveness is necessary and how it can be accomplished. Readers will also have opportunities to reflect on their own brokenness and broken relationships through Renee's creative journaling prompts." - Lisa Velthouse
