The Power of Forgiveness (2007)
"At a time when we see so much evil, we are called upon to have the moral grandeur and spiritual audacity to believe in good, to proclaim it, to stand in conviction, to take the people who truly do evil and, yes, hold them accountable. But to nevertheless stand for the possibility of human redemption that turns even the hardest hearts."
- Marianne Williamson, author of Healing the Soul of America

"Forgivness allows us to actually let go of the pain in the memory, and if we let go of the pain in the memory, we can have the memory, but it doesn't control us. When the memory controls us, we are then puppets of the past." -Alexandra Asseily, founder of the Garden of Forgiveness in Beirut
