Product Description:
Often Christians feel saved from the ultimate penalty for their sins, but not from the persistent pain of regret. The long-lasting consequences of bad decisions leave many feeling perpetually out of God's will and unable to move forward into freedom and productivity. Getting Past Your Past is the antidote to the kind of regret that can stall us spiritually and bind us up in emotional pain. Susan Wilkinson lights a clear path out of this prison with six steps, including understanding and truly embracing grace; learning to forego secrets and live authentically; and grieving old dreams and dreaming new ones. This wise, heartfelt book offers strong spiritual and emotional resolution of regret by focusing on the sovereignty and unmerited kindness of God, who alone can restore the peace we've sometimes lost.

Rating: - Thank God for Susan Wilkerson
Best book I ever read. It changed my life completely and I know I will never be the same again.
God ought to be proud he has such an intelligent person in his camp like Susan Wilkerson. Hope her next book will be as good as this one was. I only wish I could buy a hundred copies to give to my friends and family members.
God sure did give the author of this book a lot of talent, and I sure hope that he appreciates what he has.
Rating:  - Same old rehash
This kind of book as been done already time and time again by more experienced writers. Nothing new to be had here.
I had read previous reviews of this book before I bought it, apparently by a few close personal friends of the writer.
It seems a shame that the book market is being over flooded these days by self help books by so called experts. It's even a bigger shame when these experts use their religious beliefs and faith in God to cash in on a popular trend.
