N1  - With divine help, ordinary human beings are able to forgive the most appalling harm. God is beginning to restore the years that the locusts have eaten. Meg tells story after story of moments of extraordinary grace and reconciliation. A growing body of people have discovered healing for their pain at the cross of Christ. They are forgiving those who caused them unbelievable harm. Only in such changed hearts is there hope, and the possibility that the cycle of hatred and vengeance will be broken
