Product Description
Author: James Skeen
About Product: Through His Atonement, Jesus promises us hope, peace, and healing—yet many of us struggle with recurring regrets or anxieties about the future. In his service as a bishop and a professional counselor, James Skeen has seen this repeatedly. In this much-needed book, he draws on gospel principles and professional practices to remind each of us that when we center our lives on Christ, He can make us whole now.
About the Author: If you asked James Skeen what his long-term goal is, he would tell you it is the reconciliation of the family of man. James has degrees in economics and marketing and a master’s in behavioral science counseling. He is a licensed professional counselor and has served as a bishop and a seminary teacher for many years.For James, the concept of I Forgave You Yesterday became reality while hiking and camping alone in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in the summer of 2010. It may have been the clear air, the night sky, or the smell of earth that helped him see the human struggle more clearly than he had ever seen it before, but as James drove home from his wilderness experience, he knew that Christ’s Atonement was more than just a reaction to sin—it was the way to being present in life again and becoming whole now. James has been married to his wife, Brenda, for thirty-three years. They have three kids and live in Lovel and, Colorado. He still loves to hike in the Rocky Mountains with his llamas and is grateful for the blessing of family, friends, and the gospel every day.
