520    Having seen anger, resentment, and bitterness consume too 
       many lives, the author of this book argues that 
       forgiveness is the only route to relieving the sting of 
       life's deepest hurts. Seventy times seven tells stories of
       real people scarred by crime, betrayal, abuse, and war-
       people who have earned the right to tell you that 
       forgiveness is the only way out. Arnold won't ask you to 
       excuse, ignore, or forget your wounds. He knows forgiving 
       isn't easy. But he is convinced, as are the men and women 
       you'll meet in this book, that it is possible.
