“The purpose of forgiveness is not to make sure that someone ends up changing into what you expect them to be, as this is dominance. The purpose is actually to make your own life better, more worthy and less stressful. Forgiveness reduces the hold that the wrongdoer has over you and empowers you.”

author

Stephen Richards is an author who writes in the self-help genre. His first book, published in 1998, was a true crime title for Mirage Publishing. He has since worked with other writers as well, and his later focus has shifted toward mind, body, and spirit subjects. He is especially associated with books on Cosmic Ordering and mind power. His work moves from true crime into self-help and related spiritual and personal development topics, reflecting that change in focus.
