Product Description

One of the defining characteristics of human nature is the ability to discern one’s own faults, to be broken as the result of such faults, and in response, to seek meaningful change. Forgiveness and reconciliation draw us into a crucible from which we can emerge more refined, more willing to see the heart of another, and more able to create just and lasting relationships.

The will to seek forgiveness, the will to forgive, and the will to pursue reconciliation is a significant part of developing the kind of wisdom, health, autonomy, and freedom espoused by Robert Greenleaf in his idea of the servant-leader. This groundbreaking essay by Shann Ferch, professor of leadership studies at Gonzaga University, charts new territory in showing how servant-leadership and forgiveness combine to create social justice.
