The Shawshank Redemption: Tim Robbins plays a banker named Andy who's sent to Shawshank Prison on a murder charge, but as he gets to know a life-term prisoner named Red (Morgan Freeman), we realize there's reason to believe the banker's crime was justifiable. We also realize that Andy's calm, quiet exterior hides a great reserve of patience and fortitude, and Red comes to admire this mild-mannered man who first struck him as weak and unfit for prison life. So it is that The Shawshank Redemption builds considerable impact as a prison drama that defies the conventions of the genre (violence, brutality, riots) to illustrate its theme of faith, friendship, and survival. |

What the Bleep
Do We Know!?: What The #$*! Do We Know?! is a radical departure from
convention. It demands a freedom of view and greatness of thought so far
unknown, indeed, not even dreamed of since Copernicus. It's a documentary.
It's a story. It's mind-blowing special effects. This film plunges you
into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated - where neurological
processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived by its protagonist
- where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought. |

Forgiveness Books
|
Forgiveness:
The Greatest Healer of All: by Gerald G. Jampolsky and Neale Donald
Walsch - This is a small book with a big message: if people are to heal
themselves and learn to live with each other in love and harmony, forgiveness
must become as important and regular as breathing. |
|
|
|
Radical Forgiveness,
Making Room for the Miracle: by Colin C. Tipping - With this book,
Colin Tipping has updated and made easy to understand a concept that has
been around for a long time but was hitherto inaccessible to all but the
spiritual intellectual elite or ‘spiritual insiders.’ You will find that
you cannot read this book without being changed — not because of what
you learn necessarily, but because of what stirs in you as you read. It
is a book that could, quite literally, change your life! |
|
|
|
No Future Without
Forgiveness: by Desmond Tutu - No Future Without Forgiveness is Tutu's
remarkable personal memoir of his time as chair of the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission. It records his insistence of the need to discover a "third
way" in the healing of the national psyche and his powerful belief that
"we can indeed transcend the conflicts of the past, we can hold hands
as we realize our common humanity." |
|
|
|
The Wisdom of
Forgiveness: by Dalai Lama and Victor Chan - "Do you hate the Chinese?"
Chan asked the Dalai Lama when they first met in India in 1972. It was
a live question, since Chan hailed from the country that had forced the
Tibetan spiritual leader into exile and subjugated the Tibetan people.
The Dalai Lama replied immediately with the English word "no," then stated
through an interpreter that he had forgiven the Chinese and did not blame
China's people. Drawing on Buddhist principles, this book loosely discusses
His Holiness's ideas on forgiveness. |

The Sunflower:
On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness: by Simon Wiesenthal
- Author Weisenthal recalls his demoralizing life in a concentration camp
and his envy of the dead Germans who have sunflowers marking their graves.

Then, one day, a dying Nazi soldier asks Weisenthal for forgiveness for
his crimes against the Jews. What would you do? |

Left To Tell:
Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust: by Immaculee Ilibagiza
- In 1994, Rwandan native Ilibagiza was 22 years old and home from college
to spend Easter with her devout Catholic family, when the death of Rwanda's
Hutu president sparked a three-month slaughter of nearly one million ethnic
Tutsis in the country. She survived by hiding in a Hutu pastor's tiny
bathroom with seven other starving women for 91 cramped, terrifying days.
This searing firsthand account of Ilibagiza's experience cuts two ways:
her description of the evil that was perpetrated, including the brutal
murders of her family members, is soul-numbingly devastating, yet the
story of her unquenchable faith and connection to God throughout the ordeal
uplifts and inspires. Ilibagiza's remarkable path to forgiving the perpetrators
and releasing her anger is a beacon to others who have suffered injustice. |

prison, where he is serving a 212-year sentence for crimes against humanity.
In profoundly arresting scenes, Gobodo-Madikizela conveys her struggle
with contradictory internal impulses to hold him accountable and to forgive. |

encouragement of a colleague, Schucman continued to assemble the teachings
that came to her. The result is A Course in Miracles, a book that has
spawned hundreds of study groups and an international following. |

The Disappearance
of the Universe: Straight Talk About Illusions, Past Lives, Religion,
Sex, Politics, and the Miracles of Forgiveness: by Gary Renard - What
would you do if you were sitting quietly in your living room when a mysterious
couple appeared from out of nowhere — and then told you they were “ascended
masters” who had come to reveal the miraculous powers of forgiveness?
When two such teachers appeared before Gary Renard in 1992, he chose to
listen to them. The result is an extraordinary record of 17 mind-bending
conversations that took place over nearly a decade, reorienting the author’s
life and giving the world an uncompromising perspective on A Course in
Miracles — a spiritual teaching destined to change human history. |

Your Immortal
Reality: How to Break the Cycle of Birth and Death: by Gary Renard
- Like Gary’s first book, The Disappearance of the Universe, this work
elaborates on the teachings of two spiritual classics, The Gospel of Thomas
and A Course in Miracles. By focusing on a unique brand of quantum forgiveness,
rather than the old-fashioned kind, and taking the understanding of the
importance of thought up to a whole new level, your goal will become nothing
less than to break the cycle of birth and death. |

Forgive for
Good: by Frederic Luskin, MD - Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting,
insists Fred Luskin in Forgive for Good: A Proven Prescription for Health
and Happiness, nor does it mean condoning bad behavior. What it does mean
is that you "take your hurt less personally, take responsibility for how
you feel, and become a hero instead of a victim in the story you tell."
Luskin, a practicing psychologist and cofounder of the Stanford University
Forgiveness Project, shows why forgiveness is important for mental and
physical health, explains how to form a grievance and suggests practical
steps for healing. |

Forgiveness
And Child Abuse: Would You Forgive?: by Lois Einhorn Ph.d. - This
is a book about forgiveness and child abuse. It asks the question: Do
you forgive your parents? How do you forgive yourself? These questions
and others call for a thoughtful introspection by the reader to formulate
an answer or response. Fifty-three well known personalities responded
to these questions. The group includes therapists, spiritual advisors,
activists, children's advocates, song writers, and other leaders in the
field of forgiveness and abuse. The answers are profound and reveal beautiful
insights in personal forgiveness and the resulting freedom this can produce
in the victim. |
|
|
|
Forgiveness: Breaking the Chain of Hate, by Michael Henderson - While many books on the market encourage readers to learn to forgive their enemies, this is the first that focuses on the "forgiveness movement" in which the leader of countries or other organizations ask forgiveness from those their countries have injured. Stories include the development of "National Sorry Day" in Australia regarding abuse of the Aboriginal people, the efforts of Nelson Mandela and others in South Africa to forgive the horrors of the past and focus on building a new country, and the apologies given by the United States to the Japanese interred in camps during World War II, one of whom states here that the apology was much more important than the reparitions. It is especially instructive to see how people can move past their anger and how forgiveness often serves as the catalyst for major change. |

The Magic of Forgiveness: Emotional Freedom and Transformation at Midlife, A Book for Women
Forgiveness is not an event, it is a process. Forgiveness is most powerful when a woman reaches midlife: a natural time for reflection when she stands at a biological and emotional crossroads. In this groundbreaking book - therapist Tian Dayton shows women how assessing their lives and forgiving old wounds is as essential to their well-being as proper nutrition and retirement planning.
Left unresolved, past hurts wield their power from within and can contribute to depression and anxiety, undermining the immune system and ultimately opening the door to a multitude of diseases. And harboring resentment prevents us from engaging in deep, meaningful relationships.
Through solid research, poignant case studies and personal examples, Dr. Dayton guides women through the sometimes painful but healing process to provide the comfort that may have eluded them for years.
This beautifully written book will open women's eyes to the liberating power of forgiveness and provide the ability to find true joy.

Ruth considers that extraordinary forgiveness as the legacy of that heartbreaking day.

offering readers 10 topical chapters about lowering your expectations,
rolling with the infant's punches, the importance of maintaining perspective
(and outlets for frustration) and surviving "mommy wars." Interspersed
are inspirational quotes, "Sanity Savers" sidebars and "Thought Experiment(s)." |

The Hidden Messages
in Water: by Dr. Masuro Emoto - This book has the potential to profoundly
transform your world view. Using high-speed photography, Dr. Masaru Emoto
discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific,
concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found that water from
clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant,
complex, and colorful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water,
or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete, asymmetrical
patterns with dull colors. The implications of this research create a
new awareness of how we can positively impact the earth and our personal
health. |

Forgiveness
transforms tragedy into brotherly love:
Meet Azim Khamisa, a Muslim father whose 20-year-old
son Tariq was murdered by 14-year-old gang member
Tony Hicks. Azim was heartbroken. He became despondent
at the loss of his beloved son. As a Sufi Muslim,
he believed that doing good deeds and being compassionate
create “spiritual currency” and this can be transferred
to departed souls. So he decided that for the sake
of his son, he needed to find a way to overcome his
sorrow.
In this process, Azim has become friends with the
murder’s grandfather, Ples Felix. In the atmosphere
of understanding and forgiveness, they decided to
work together to educate young people about the terrible
effects of violence. Watch their video interviews
