THE BIBLE STUDY
Forgiveness: Received From God, Extended to Others: Forgiveness is always personal. It’s incredibly difficult to do. But it’s never optional.
When someone has offended us, the temptation to not forgive is great. But the roots of unforgiveness and bitterness can grow deep in the human soul. Left alone, unforgiveness produces bitter fruit that shows itself in angry thoughts, words, and deeds. Eventually, it will destroy us from the inside out.
Through this study, you will learn of the rich, life-altering teachings God’s Word offers about forgiveness. Your heart will soften as you learn of Jesus’ forgiveness for you. And, most important, you’ll be encouraged to extend that same forgiveness to others.

She has authored over 35 Bible studies, and numerous magazine articles, and travels the world to teach from Scripture.
Donna attends Salem Lutheran Church in Tomball, Texas, where she’s an active supporter of LWML and mission work. She is a Houston volunteer team member for Love146, which seeks to end child trafficking and exploitation.
Donna is a life-long Texan and coffee lover. She is an adventurous traveler, avid reader, dabbling gardener, and closet chef, but home is always her favorite place to be.
