Quick Overview: An LDS meditation on how the law of Moses reveals the Atonement as 'victims' rights law'—Christ pays the debt owed to us so that forgiveness never requires pretending the wrong was nothing.

Ester Rasband offers hope to those wounded by others' sins. Drawing on the law of Moses as a 'schoolmaster,' she reframes the Atonement: Christ doesn't just forgive sinners, He guarantees full restitution to victims. Forgiving, then, is not excusing or discounting real pain—it is trusting the Savior to make us thoroughly whole. Warm, personal, and doctrinally rich, this book helps readers who struggle to forgive severe hurts find peace, patience, and the assurance that every jot and tittle of justice will be satisfied.

  • Reframes forgiveness: it doesn't mean pretending the wrong was 'nothing'—it means trusting Christ to pay a real debt in full.
  • The law of Moses as 'victims' rights law'—a fresh doctrinal lens on the Atonement.
  • Real comfort for readers wounded by abuse, betrayal, and loss who feel forgiving would forfeit justice.
  • 'If you love ’em, cut ’em some slack'—a memorable, practical philosophy of everyday forgiveness.

Perfect for a faithful Latter-day Saint carrying deep hurt from someone else's sin who wants to forgive but feels doing so would betray justice or minimize their pain.
