In a world where forgiveness is often preached but rarely practiced with truth and justice, 70×7: Forgiveness, Justice, and the Liberating Grace of God invites readers to rediscover what Jesus really meant when He said, "forgive seventy times seven." Author and theologian Justin Matthew Wyatt exposes how the church's misuse of forgiveness has too often silenced victims, excused oppression, and confused grace with passivity. Drawing from Scripture, pastoral experience, and the wisdom of liberation theology, Wyatt redefines forgiveness as a radical act of freedom - one that demands honesty, repentance, repair, and reconciliation rooted in love. Through powerful storytelling and biblical reflection, 70×7 explores the path from woundedness to wholeness, showing that true forgiveness does not ignore pain but transforms it. Each chapter offers spiritual insight for those struggling to forgive without losing themselves, and for communities seeking healing amid division and injustice. Both prophetic and pastoral, this book speaks to anyone who has been told to "forgive and forget" while the wound still bleeds. It's a call to remember that God's grace is not cheap - it is costly love that liberates both the oppressed and the oppressor.
