Bertrand Russell defines power as the ability to produce intended effects. Robert Vecchio defines it as the ability to change the behavior of others. Dacher Keltner defines power as your capacity to make a difference in the world by influencing the states of other people. If Russell is right, then your every need, want, passion, cause, and ambition demands power. If Vecchio is right, then power inhabits every act of teaching, encouraging, parenting, storytelling, leading, and mentoring future leaders. If Keltner is correct, then my power changes your world, for better or worse. What if they’re all right? What if power is all of the above? Then, at the very least, we’d all benefit from a better grasp of power.

Duck Dynasty stars Al and Lisa Robertson were desperate for their love to survive—and with God’s help, they realized the only answer to marital and family betrayal is all-consuming, life-altering, desperate forgiveness. In their new book, they share this message with anyone who wants to exchange broken relationships for healing. The Robertsons know what they’re talking about: They have lived through the pain of adultery and lack of communication in their marriage. And thanks to the healing they’ve experienced, they now help other couples find their own path to forgiveness. This former pastor of 22 years and his wife want you to arrive at a place where you, too, can give and receive forgiveness and find the beauty of reconciliation. By sharing true stories from friends and family, as well as biblical examples, Desperate Forgiveness provides the support you’ll need on the hard road to forgiveness. You’ll learn about the necessity and power of humility; the freedom found in letting go of bitterness; and the restoration and reclamation on the other side of desperation. Al and Lisa Robertson are living proof that choosing and living out forgiveness is worth the effort. Let Desperate Forgiveness show you the way to a changed life and revitalized marriage.
