Is there anyone in your life whom you cannot forgive? Should you? Why or why not? What are the consequences of not forgiving and who does it affect? Is forgiveness always possible? Is revenge ever justified? Reflect on Psalms 37, Psalms 73, and Hebrews 12:12–15.

UC His Glory Book Club is the spirit-inspired brainchild of Joylynn Jossel-Ross, author and acquisitions Editor of Urban Christian, and Kendra Norman-Bellamy, author for Urban Christian. This is an online book club that hosts authors of Urban Christian. We welcome as members all men and women who have a passion for reading Christian-based fiction.
UC HIS GLORY BOOK CLUB pledges our commitment to provide support, positive feedback, encouragement, and a forum whereby members can openly discuss and review the literary works of Urban Christian authors.
There is no membership fee associated with UC His Glory Book Club; however, we do ask that you support the authors through purchasing, encouraging, providing book reviews, and of course, your prayers. We also ask that you respect our beliefs and follow the guidelines of the book club. We hope to receive your valuable input, opinions, and reviews that build up, rather than tear down our authors.
WHAT WE BELIEVE:
—We believe that Jesus is the Christ, Son of the Living God
—We believe the Bible is the true, living Word of God
—We believe all Urban Christian authors should use their God-given writing abilities to honor God and share the message of the written word God has given to each of them uniquely.
—We believe in supporting Urban Christian authors in their literary endeavors by reading, purchasing, and sharing their titles with our online community.
—We believe that everything we do in our literary arena should be done in a manner that will lead to God being glorified and honored.
