Amazon.com description: Product Description: Kent Nerburn writes, "Forgiveness cannot be a disengaged, pastel emotion. It must be muscular. It requires action. It is called forth in the bloodiest of human circumstances, and needs to stand against the strongest winds of human rage and hate." Calm Surrender takes readers on a moving, poignantly written journey toward such forgiveness. Nerburn recounts the experiences of a woman mistreated by the U.S. healthcare system, a Native American watching the old ways die, and a mother singing over the grave of her young son. He urges readers to maintain a forgiving heart in the midst of a world where cruelty, tragedy, and sadness abound.
