Dr. Nancy C. Winston’s journey of forgiveness began when she made the decision to forgive the one person she promised before God and man to love and cherish, for better for worse — her husband, Johnnie Winston. The author realized she could only find peace when she released the need to blame him for shortcomings in their lives that she did not understand. After years of contemplation, she discovered she had a choice. She could continue to feel frustrated and angry, or she could release the old mental conditioning that no longer served her. Winston believes this opened the door to a new way of life and a greater way of being.

“A Wife’s Journey to Forgiveness: Forgiveness – One of Life’s Greatest Gifts” (published by Xlibris) was birthed by the personal experiences of Winston while married to her late husband Johnnie Winston after his struggle with substance abuse. “It is a glimpse of what God requires of us, to give and to receive forgiveness.” Deciding to forgive or not to forgive, forced her to reach beyond where she could reach and see beyond what she could see and rely totally on God.

While contemplating forgiveness, God took Winston on a journey of acquiring knowledge and allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of what forgiveness encompass. Also, the book speaks of her personal testimony; identifying where she stood in moments of her tender pain and suffering.

As Winston journeys through the pitfalls of hurt and disappointment that was prevalent in her marriage, she was reminded that God’s word is real and his mercies endure forever. Ultimately, she realized that forgiveness was not for her husband, but the act of being able to forgive was for her. Through it all, she acquired a more profound understanding of forgiveness.

Equipped with many scriptural references to aid readers in their quest of forgiveness, “A Wife’s Journey to Forgiveness: Forgiveness – One of Life’s Greatest Gifts” aims to help the readers understand the love and forgiveness that Christ has shown to them in order for them to show that same love to others.
