The Book Your Guide to Letting Go

Who is this book for?

For every soul who has been hurt,

and for every heart that still aches.

For those who lie awake at night replaying words they wish had never been spoken,

and for those who wonder if they’ll ever feel whole again.

This book is for you.

May you discover the courage to release what holds you,

the humility to ask for forgiveness when it’s yours to ask,

and the faith to believe that G-d can rewrite even the most painful chapters.

Whether you’re Jewish or not, whether you consider yourself religious or not, just about everyone has been hurt during their time on Earth. For many of us, it becomes a heavy load that we carry around with us.

Letting it go has changed people’s lives, from all walks of life. No matter where you come from, this book can help you release yourself from the pain that’s preventing you from feeling free.

What's in the book?

To make it even more real, The Forgiveness Experiment contains numerous practical exercises, to help you along your forgiveness journey. It’s not just a book; it’s a guide to letting go.

“This is a remarkable book. Rabbi Bernath boils down so many of our anxieties into one transformative word — Forgiveness. With profound yet simple language, he presents Jewish wisdom, personal experience, and prac- tical exercises that could save years of therapy. We all need to read this book, because we all need to learn forgiveness.”

"As a professor of social work, I’ve seen many approaches to healing, but few as practical and life-changing as the one Rabbi Bernath shares in The Forgiveness Experiment. This is an invaluable tool for mental health professionals to use with clients and in their own lives."

—Dr. Jonathan B. Singer, Ph.D., LCSW, Professor, Loyola University Chicago School of Social Work
