Forgive – who wants to say that word?! Few want to ask for it. Fewer want to give it. Yet we need it desperately.
No wonder it’s so despised.
No wonder it’s so wonderful when it’s spoken; when it’s freely given and gratefully received.
This is why FMU Co-Founder, Michael Johnson wrote…
Why is forgiveness so important? The ability to forgive is essential if you want to live in community; build strong, healthy relationships; and especially if you want to lay the groundwork for a life-giving, life-long marriage. Bottom line, forgiveness is something you really must learn if you desire the abundant life Jesus promised. Indeed, you either intentionally choose to forgive or you unwittingly choose to live with some combination of bitterness, shame, doubt, guilt, sorrow and rage… passions which will then sabotage all of your other relationships. What does Forgiveness 101 offer? Forgiveness 101 delivers five Biblical realities that can set you free to forgive… anyone of anything. That’s an audacious claim, but the principles contained in this book come right out of the word of the God – the God whose love compelled him to forgive us before we ever knew we needed it… or wanted it. In fact, if you can accept these realities like you accept gravity; if you can know these truths like you know your closest friend; if you can embrace them like your dearest love; forgiveness will become as natural as breathing. (And who doesn’t enjoy breathing?) Order Forgiveness 101 |

About the author.For the last six of their 15 years of marriage, Michael Johnson and his wife, Julie, have pursued a unique passion to prepare smart singles for sucess in their future marriage... way in advance of engagement and, preferably, even ahead of a serious dating relationship. This is why they founded Future Marriage University. It began in 2003 when Michael created a 14-week Marriage Ed class for singles in conjunction with their home church. After taking four women's groups and two men's groups through that course, Michael & Julie hosted their first seminar in 2007. In 2008 he developed and lead a single's Sunday School curriculum on forgiveness based on his first book, Forgiveness 101, which will be available this Summer. They reside outside of Nashville, Tennessee with their five children and call Strong Tower Bible Church their home.
