"He knew that small voice way down deep and the truth it whispered to him. That old voice from long ago that had guided him through the maze of life always revealed the unexceptional truth that Tom knew was the right path." (Forgive: To give up all claim to punish or exact penalty for an offense.) We all have a shelf called unforgiveness in the closet of our innermost self. Anger, hatred, bitterness, distrust, intolerance, lack of self-esteem, substance abuse, and even racism are trophies that can all be considered supported on the shelf of unforgiveness. We direct the firepower of the hardware on the shelf outwardly toward other people, inwardly toward ourselves, and even toward God. We could really look to brighter horizons and give the world a beneficial "shot in the arm" if we removed our shelves of unforgiveness. In doing so, the trophies would not have a place. They would fall away. Forgiveness begins with God. Once we receive the forgiveness offered by Him, we can truly know forgiveness within. Follow the story of Tom Rankin in Relics of Forgiveness as he looks at his shelf. You will see him pull the ugly trophies off his shelf, polish them, and put them back. See how Tom identifies with the truth and finds the redemption that was always present. The readers of Relics of Forgiveness, from teenager to centenarian, are liable to find the truth within themselves.
