Something happened. It might have been yesterday. It might have been years ago. But it hurt. And it changed you. And unless you forgive those who wronged you, the heart wound will become infected and spread. Eventually, you can become a prisoner of your own wounded heart. If the story ended here, you would be hurt beyond healing. But the Good News is, it is not finished. In his creative, story-driven, highly motivating style, Bruce reveals from the words of Jesus Christ how you can find the freedom and peace your heart longs for. Discover forgiveness that is for real and forever.

Thank you for helping me to forgive myself and others.

Excellent! Went through this course via the videos first. Then bought the workbook from TEN website, and went through the course again. Now, as I'm going through this course a 3rd time here at ODBU, I'm currently teaching this course at my church during our Sunday School. It's a course of 35, and I praise the the Lord, He is changing lives in this class!!! My relationship with the Lord has grown deeper. I have experienced healing, both physically and spiritually while learning the practice of forgiveness. Thank you so very, very much for providing this precious tool to us. This is a serious game changer. It is my hope to pass this along to other congregations and organizations within my community. Bless you!
— Robin
Excellent course. I wish I would have known about it earlier in my life. I feel that God made me aware of this course because He knew that how desperate I was to get my life back. Thanks be to God!
— Robin
Very well done. Brought out things about forgiveness that I had never realized. Taught me how to forgive, Thanks!!!

I learned many things about forgiveness and the consequences of unforgiveness. I also learned how to free myself from my past sins, and to forgive myself and others.
— Terry
I am thankful for this course as it brought me greater insight into so many areas. I do believe I need to take the course again and probably each year. Thank you for this teaching.
— Debra
Minimized the role of restitution, didn't mention restitution until the last lesson and then only devoted a paragraph to the topic. Other than that, good and insightful lessons.
— Dale
I enjoyed this course. It opened my eyes to many truths about forgiveness I didn't know. I especially liked the lesson on vengeance. It helped give me some peace to know that wicked people will not get away with what they've done even though it may appear that way.
— Lisa
Wonderful, healing course. Will definitely share with others. Praise God for all your work in developing this tool.

Excellent course! Exceeded my expectations. Everybody should take it!

While I am sure this was a great in person conference, it does not translate well into an online course. The transcripts were muddled and hard to follow for course information.
— Kathleen
LIFE CHANGING!!
— Christinne
Very revealing and helpful. It has helped shine the light on aspects of my life that I either took for granted or did not realize was very impacting on my progress as a human being. I am truly grateful. God bless you Dr Bruce.

I am surprised at the level of forgiveness God demands and at the same time, loves me. There were so many things I took for granted until I took this course.
— Michael
Good Course
— Ian
This course was so much more than what I truly expected. I have been through forgiveness sessions before but not like this. This had me crying, wondering what happened and where I went wrong, Why my illnesses has increased, and finally understanding that I still had a lot of unforgiveness to forgive. This was an eye opener and life changing for me. For the next 3-4 days, because I actually vocalize the statement, will be working on releasing the prisoners out of my heart. I was not going to finish this course, but God saw fit to answer my prayers and I tell you it will be work but I am up for it. I am going to try to open my heart and search for compassion for others and my self. Thank you so much for this. Now, I understand why my relationships get to one point and get stuck, my relationships with my daughters are not as tight, and why I have been so angry and in intense pain in my body. This course is a gold mine and everyone needs to know about this. Imagine if you taught this to every Pastor in the world on how to truly work on forgiveness. Saints will be so much freer to complete God's missions. Again, thank you for allowing my Overseer and Pastor ArchBishop William and Lady Hudson III for this opportunity.
