“Dear Dr. Meg, I would like to express my gratitude to you and your ministry. The one-on-one sessions focusing on forgiveness have been incredibly beneficial for me. Addressing some of the past hurts in my life has enabled me to develop a closer relationship with God, to recognize, value, and embrace my true self, and to make progress in forgiving those in my life who have caused me pain, both intentionally and unintentionally. This is truly a wonderful program, and I am very thankful that you introduced it to me.” (DO)

“Forgiveness is one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. As a Pastor for more than 30 years, I can tell you that some of the major problems that I encounter with families or individuals is the need to forgive another person. In every case, forgiveness is not just important it is essential for their healing. Dr. Magon Saunders has done a profound work in demonstrating both our need for forgiveness and its implications for health in general. While we in the emotional or spiritual arena have touched on forgiveness, we did not have the broader reach into the medical and social spheres that Dr. Saunders adds. This research and accompanying book is a game changer for me. Magon is not only a social scientist but she is a woman of faith that has dealt with all of the challenges of life and still has thrived. I am so blessed to call Magon a friend and now a mentor in the area of forgiveness, healing, and wellness”.
-Rev. Michel J. Faulkner, President,The Institute for Leadership, Pastor, New Horizon Church, Harlem, New York

Dear Magon: Congratulations on the publication of “They Speak From the Pain of Divorce”. I appreciate you sending the review copy and enjoyed looking at it. Your research is important, and I’m hopeful this work will help churches better minister to African-Americans who are experiencing the pain of divorce. For a long time, I’ve had a burden for placing DivorceCare in more African-American churches, and would welcome any ideas you have on how to achieve this goal.
Blessings,
Steve Grissom, Founder, Divorce Care, Church Initiative, PO Box 1739, Wake Forest, NC 27588
