| In addition to providing guidance to the group leader for the video and discussion sessions, the guide will include structure and suggestions for leading groups in a continuation of their accountability to each other for moving toward embodiment of the Christian character they have been studying. This leader's guide would encourage and enable a group to take responsibility for meeting together for a period of 6 weeks after the video sessions are completed. |

| For weeks 2-5 group members are to read the four sections of material in this book, one prior to each of the sessions. During each session, group members view the video and have discussion based on the materials read in the book and on the video viewed during the class time. Action/reflection suggestions and journaling space will be included in these books plus an intentional plan for groups to follow after the video sessions end. The Participant's Book thus enhances the individual study units and provides a bridge between this study and the following study. This actually exploits one of the underlying premises of Living the Good Life: that "how you live out or embody Christian character beyond or in between the group meetings" is the point of the meetings |

| Traumatized by two abusive relationships and a haunting secret, Cassidy Beckett has shut herself off emotionally from the world. Despite the fact that she has forgiven those who hurt her, she is paralyzed by the memories. Burying herself in church ministry she soon meets Trevor Monroe, a widower and single father of two young girls. Forced to interact, Trevor and Cassidy initially have a love-hate relationship. But with the passing of Cassidys beloved Aunt Odessa, their bond grows stronger. As a widower, Trevor echoes Cassidys sentiment of being burdened by painful memories of his past. They fall in love and marry, but that only causes more pain when Trevor realizes that the future of their relationship is more about his wifes past than their love. Finally, Cassidy reveals to Trevor that as a frightened college student she was forced by her minister-in-training boyfriend to abandon her infant son. Not only does Trevor support Cassidy after her confession, he performs some detective work of his own to help his wife find closureand the son she has never forgotten. |

| Psychologist and counselor Everett Worthington, the leading Christian researcher on forgiveness, says that forgiving is a gift we give to others. When we offer forgiveness to others as an altruistic gift, it is more effective than when we forgive only for our own benefit in an effort to "get over" the hurt. True forgiveness is accomplished through a careful process of understanding both the offense and the offender, and taking active steps to forgiveness. In this insightful and practical book, Worthington provides a clinically proven stategy and a wealth of resources for moving toward forgiveness. |

| A true, first-person account of the victim who survived the crimes committed by the rapist and killer made famous in the movie Dead Man Walking. Debbie Morris takes readers beyond the story of those crimes and into the journey of her faith as she wrestles with the question all of us face at some point in life: Is there any crime, any hurt, any person beyond the power of forgiveness? It was just another time of enjoying milkshakes and small talk. Neither Debbie Cuevas nor her boyfriend, Mark Brewster, gave much thought to the white pickup truck that had pulled up beside them on the riverfront. Until a revolver thrust through the driver's window a hand jerked Debbie's head back and a voice said, "Don't do anything stupid" and a quiet Friday evening abruptly became a nightmare. In the hours that followed, Debbie would experience atrocities too monstrous to conceive. Kidnapping, rape, torture, attempted murder these words cannot convey the horrors that would continue to poison her life long after her captors had been brought to justice. For the first time, here is the untold other half of Dead Man Walking, the movie that depicted killer Robert Willie's death row relationship with spiritual advisor Helen Prejean. Now the woman whose testimony helped send Willie to the electric chair tells her side of the story - the side America hasn't heard. In gripping detail, Debbie Morris - formerly Debbie Cuevas - recounts her hours of terror and years of walking an agonizing road to wholeness. In this stunning, true story, she details a personal struggle far more difficult, and ultimately more amazing, than her remarkable survival of the crimes committed against her. Forgiving the Dead man Walking is a pulls no punches read, so riveting it practically turns the pages for you. More than that, though, it's an incredible tale of courage, faith, and forgiveness. In a world where all of us struggle sooner or later with unforgiveness, Debbie Morris is a living testimony to the grace we long for: grace that shines more brightly than we dare to believe, bright enough to triumph over the darkest evil. In the face of today's ongoing death penalty debate, Debbie offers wisdom qualified by an experience most of us thankfully will never know. She offers no answers she herself has not yet arrived at. Rather, she challenges us all to consider whether it is justice we truly require, or something more powerful that alone can heal the wounds of the unforgivable. |
