What a simple way to make important changes! I have worked for so many years in the field of recovery, trying to help people with forgiveness, and indeed apply it to my own life. Marys training gave me new tools and fresh ideas that I had not experienced before.

Mary... is a gifted and inspiring presenter with a wealth of knowledge. In the training she presented for the European Branch of the American Counseling Association, our members gained valuable skills to use in their counseling practices. It was a very enriching experience, personally and professionally, and I am using my new knowledge already.

I have experienced the power of this forgiveness model, both personally, in a workshop, and professionally, with people in recovery at Hazeldens Dan Anderson Renewal Center. Unconditional Forgiveness details just how the Eight Steps to Freedom can support any Twelve-Step program of recovery. Mary Hayes Grieco is a wise, accessible guide through this powerful model of emotional healing.

I have consumed every type of personal growth material over the years, from Anthony Robbins to fire walking, and I think of Marys work as the most gentle and on-target of them all. It eliminates the heavy load the recipient has been carrying for decades, and the magic of the soul is released with the miracle of forgiveness!

Marys unique approach creates immediate relief in a natural wayit is despair repair! This powerhouse tool transforms peoples lives in a very short amount of time, and it is a must-have tool for anyone who is letting go of their past and is ready to attract wealth. Forgiveness removes stuck energy and paves the way for the prospect of good fortune.

M ICKEY M IKEWORTH , financial advisor, CEO, Rich Chicks

This training hit the mark by addressing a need that we have not been able to address by other means. It got to the gut-level pain people are experiencing in our corporate restructuring, in a way that was emotionally safe for everyone. The forgiveness techniques are very helpful to guide people toward positive attitudes and outcomes.

D EBBIE J ORGENS , career and employee development, Thrivent Financial

Forgiveness can feel so foreign. Even though we sense deep inside that freedom lies on the other side of forgiveness, we cant quite seem to get there on our own. In Unconditional Forgiveness, Mary Hayes Grieco takes us gently by the hand, never leaving our side, as we walk through the eight-step process that has healed thousands. As we close the book, we are, at long last, free, healthy, and whole. And life can begin afresh.
I highly recommend this important book.
