A broken young woman learns the secret of peace in Charmaine Alexis's powerful new devotional, The Fragrance of Forgiveness.
Growing up in a household of strangers, Charmaine never truly feels at home. The bullying and abuse she endures throughout elementary school, including weekly Friday beatings, scars her both physically and emotionally for years to come.
These experiences shape her adolescence, leading her to become an angry and withdrawn teenager-one who begins inflicting the pain she feels herself on others.
Relentlessly unforgiving, Charmaine nurtures a growing resentment toward everyone and everything. No friend or loving relative can penetrate the depths of her pain.
It is at this crucial moment that Charmaine discovers the saving power of Jesus Christ. Through Him, she learns what true forgiveness means.
The journey she takes toward forgiving both herself and others, while not short or easy, is one that profoundly changes Charmaine's life forever.
Following in the footsteps of the Book of Philemon, she identifies with the principles and events which not only transformed her life but which ultimately led to who she is today. Unveil the symmetrical couplets revealed in each chapter, at the end of which readers are allowed to practically engage in personal reflection.
Discover the forgiving power of Christ with the emotional testimony in The Fragrance of Forgiveness.
