Gregory Kirby, Shreveport, Louisiana Pastor, Pens Life Changing Book On Forgiveness

PRLog (Press Release) – May 09, 2008 – Hailing from Shreveport, Louisiana, Gregory Kirby has a powerful message of forgiveness. As pastor of Steeple Chase Baptist Church in Shreveport, Louisiana, and throughout his many years in the ministry, he’s seen the harm unforgiveness has caused. His experience was the basis for his most recent book, Why Forgiveness Makes Sense: Heal Your Heart, Rebuild Your Life available at Amazon.com.

In his second writing, Kirby highlights the rarely-discussed topic of forgiveness. Filled with much insight about the benefits of forgiveness and the freedom that comes from it, Kirby explains the act in a way seldom illustrated. Making sure to empathize with those who have experienced pain, Why Forgiveness Makes Sense provides nuggets of wisdom and ministers to those having a hard time letting go. “One thing that I tell people struggling with unforgiveness is that I understand what they feel is real,” says Kirby. “But I also tell them that God wants them to move past it,” says the author and pastor. In his book, he outlines a detailed plan of how to forgive, and by doing so, he’s helping countless people regain their lives.

Not only has Kirby put his inspired thoughts on paper, but he’s taken concepts from the book and crisscrossed the country with his seminar on forgiveness. He’s been from Florida to California to preach the “gospel of forgiveness”. With a Master’s of Divinity in Church Growth and Evangelism from Southwestern Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, and almost 20 years as a pastor, Kirby has assisted in planting almost two dozen churches. The Marvell-Arkansas-native is a member of the Shreveport Ministers Conference, the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People.
