Jackie Kendall, author of the excellent book, Free Yourself to Love--The Liberating Power of Forgiveness, wrote these interesting words about the sorority of bitterness: "The Lord allowed me to quit this sorority when I was confronted with the unresolved anger that I lived with on a daily basis. So often when my anger was aroused I would deny it and quickly bury it by moving into some project--like cleaning the kitchen floor at midnight because--guess what!--my anger produced insomnia."
She goes on to say, "I have now pledged and been accepted into a new club that has male and female members. A Club for Lovers is made up of good forgivers who aggressively deal with their anger so that they can freely forgive and be forgiven. Our club motto is "Great Forgiver = Great Lover."
