There is no shortage of material to read. You have magazines, periodicals, books, newspapers, websites, blogs, etc. Most of these things aren’t really worth the time or the energy they consume, but on occasion you find a gem. Well, I think I’ve stumbled upon another one. It’s a book entitled, “Getting Rid of the Gorilla.” It’s about forgiveness and learning to forgive those who have wounded us deeply. It’s a great book. In fact, I recommend it to you if you have a struggle with forgiving someone who has hurt you. It could be a family member, a past friend, or even a present coworker. It could be a physical, emotional, or spiritual pain. But, I also recommend this book if you are looking to be challenged in other ways. Brian Jones (the author) is a really gifted writer and in the pages of this book he presents some statements that will take you to the very core of your soul. If you’re like me, you may not necessarily enjoy those poignant moments but you need them. You need them for your heart. You need them for your mind. You need them for your own humility and dealings with pride. Finally, I would recommend this book because it contains some of the best stories I’ve ever read. I literally found myself (I was reading on an airplane) struggling to keep myself from laughing out loud. I kid you not, there are some stories in here that you won’t ever forget and will find yourself telling to others.

By the way, if you are a Life Group Leader this could be a great group read. It does have a study guide that can also be used.
