DVD Reviews of The Power of Forgiveness
DVD Review: Emotional healing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very powerful and moving film. It is professionally well done but highly emotional and sad in parts. This is not a film for children! Anyone who recommends this film to someone with intense grief or emotional pain should view the movie first to see if it is appropriate to the person.DVD Review: Super basis for discussion
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe I didn't review this before. This was really useful for our forgiveness study group. One segment at a time, we discussed the immediate and far-reaching implications. We were a group of six, the "forgiveness team" resulting from a seven-week study I had led at Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church in Chaska, MN. For that study we had used Wilma Derksen's little (and very effective) Bible-based study guide. We plan to use this DVD as the core of a one-day forgiveness workshop sometime in the Spring. Each segment is powerful in demonstrating one of the many facets of forgiveness. From my point of view, this DVD has the advantage of not being Bible-based and useful, therefore, for a much broader audience. DVD Review: The Beginning of a Dialogue
Summary: 3 Stars
The film is great as an overview. It is not nor should it be an in-depth or comprehensive study of forgiveness. Its sets the stage for further discussion and I plan to use it as such. This should just be the beginning of worthwhile discussions on what forgiveness is, how do we accomplish the act and how can it be applied to individuals and communities.DVD Review: disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
very disappointed in content....expected it to be about the Amish, but was about a lot of different tragedies and tended to ramble and not go into any depth with any of the subjects...very impersonal for what I was expecting....wouldn't recommendDVD Review: Elie Wiesel has never forgiven Germans and hates Palestinians
Summary: 3 Stars
It is very unfortunate that this worthy project has been marred by Elie Wiesel, a follower of the revenge-filled Talmud who has never acknowledged his relationship with the Irgun terrorists who massacred the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin or decried the slaughter in Deir Yassin in any way. Of the Germans, Wiesel wrote the terrible words (which he has never recanted): "Every Jew, somewhere in his being, should set apart a zone of hate - healthy, virile hate - for what the German personifies and for what persists in the German." (Wiesel, "Legends of Our Time" [1968]). How on earth the producers of this DVD were so ignorant of Wiesel's record as to hoax their own forgiveness project with his presence is beyond fathoming.
Description of The Power of Forgiveness
To forgive somone can be simple. But this simple act can have powerul consequences - and may lead to a personal and spiritual transformation. Recently, the study of forgiveness has come into its own.Researchers are examining the psychological and physical effects of forgiveness under an amazingly wide variety of conditions, ranging from petty insults to sexual assault to 9/11. Clinicians now help guide people to forgive transgressions and get on with their lives. From Ground Zero to Northern Ireland to the Amish countryside, THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS explores this important concept, and reveals how forgiveness can transform your life.
