Getting to know the problems and hopes of forgiving -- or deciding not to. A tough but rewarding process, with no instant fixes.

Help choose a title
I'm looking for a more gripping title for my "Book of Mrs. Job." Please help. Would any of these attract you with the thought of buying? (There will be a cover with the caves of Petra in the background and a beautiful woman with flowing sleeves in the foreground.)
My photo tells you I've been around a while,in academia, private practice, and writing. In 1986 forgiveness became my passion. Since then, excellent books in this area have mushroomed, but I really think mine do something the others don't do. Most focus on the advantages of forgiving. I'll admit, I think forgiving has a lot going for it. But I also know it's a tough process of deciding how to react to an offense in a way that puts the control of your life back into your hands. Sometimes that even means deciding not to forgive. My books aim to help you through the process of deciding and then taking action -- at your own pace. When to Forgive came first. More recently I did Forgiving One Page at a Time, a kind of guided diary with fewer pages. I wish you'd check them out at my web site or at a bookseller like Amazon.com. Let me know what you think. And oh, how I hope you'll get hold of a copy of Mrs. Job. People are liking it, discussing it in book clubs and bible study groups. Let me know what you think.

I like "For better and for worse... mostly worse."
But if it is a romantic...Steadfast Conviction sounds good too.
Hi Mona, I have my new computer up and running.
I am, a happy woman.
I am writing to say I like your blog. Let me know if it helps move your work forward to the finish line.
Title of book? Mrs. Job sounds like job, job get a job. Job'e Wife is familiar. How about, Wife of
an Influential Man or some thing like that?
