ABOUT WHEN TO FORGIVE (New Harbinger, 1999)
"This is the best, most thoroughly considered, most releasing book about forgiveness I've ever read. It
is a gift for the heart and mind." (Audrey DeLaMartre, The Phoenix, November, 1999.)
"As a victim of homicide, I appreciate the author's in-depth analysis of forgiveness. So often forgiveness
is used as a 'should" to silence victims. Mona's treatment of forgiveness, seeing it as a process, is most helpful and refreshing."
(Wilma Derksen, author of "Have You Seen Candace?" and editor of "Pathways.")
"...Amazingly practical and insightful guidance." (James E. Dittes, professor of Pastoral Theology and
Psychology, Yale University. Author of twelve books, including "Driven by Hope: Men and Meaning.")
"This book is remarkable in that it does not impart knowledge, but rather helps the reader tap into his/her
own wisdom and integrity." (Mary Nicholas, LCSW, Ph.D., author of "The Mystery of Goodness and The Positive Moral Consequences
of Psychotherapy.")
"An exceptional job of speaking to the deep transformative power of genuine forgiveness." (Mark Umbright,
Ph.D. Director, Center for Restorative Justice and Mediation, University of Minnesota, author of "Victim Meets Offender:
The impact of Restorative Justice and Mediation" and "Mediating Interpersonal Conflicts: A Pathway to Peace.")

"It is evident that this book was written by a practitioner who communicates very effectively with both
colleagues and clients." (A. Paul Olson, M. Div. Ph.D., Professor of Clinical Psychology, Minnesota School of Professional
Psychology.)
"...an outstanding job distilling the most crucial aspects of a process called 'forgiveness.'" (Herbert
H. Laube, Ph.D., Dean of Faculty, Alfred Adler Graduate School.)
ABOUT HELPING WITH FORGIVENESS DECISIONS (Forgiveness Options, 2001)

forgiveness." (Nina Salveson, MA, PCC, CCF, President, Life Rhythms Inc., Minneapolis, MN.)
