New Book by Dr. Janet Olivares Helps Readers Find Freedom Through Forgiveness

[Fresno, CA] – Forgiveness is one of the most powerful yet challenging acts of faith. In her new book, Forgive: Let Go for Real, Dr. Janet Olivares offers readers a heartfelt roadmap to release the pain of the past, heal emotional wounds, and experience true peace through the power of God’s grace.

Written from her perspective as a Christian counselor, teacher, and follower of Christ, Dr. Olivares gently guides readers through real-life struggles with unforgiveness, bitterness, and emotional bo***ge. Each chapter combines practical insights, Scripture-based wisdom, prayers, and reflection questions that invite readers to take the next step toward lasting healing.

“My heart as a counselor is not to lecture you, but to journey with you,” Dr. Olivares writes. “Forgiveness is not easy—but it is worth it. When we let go for real, God brings the freedom we’ve been longing for.”

Forgive: Let Go for Real reminds readers that forgiveness is not a feeling—it’s a spiritual decision that opens the door to inner peace and renewal. Whether the wound comes from betrayal, loss, or disappointment, this book helps readers discover how to release resentment and embrace God’s love.

You Are Still Becoming—And It's Beautiful 🌟

From: Dr. Janet Olivares
To: Our Beloved Community

Dear Friends,

In the stillness of your day—whether you're running a business, managing a home, pursuing a dream, or simply trying to hold things together—I want to speak something gentle and true into your heart:

You are not alone.
You are not forgotten.
And you are certainly not forsaken.

There is a light in you that no amount of darkness can extinguish. Even when things feel uncertain, and the next step seems unclear, know this:

✨ Your worth does not change.
✨ Your voice still matters.
✨ Your presence carries hope.

You were created with divine intention. Carefully crafted by a loving God who sees you, knows you, and calls you to walk this life with purpose and courage.

And yes, joy is still possible.
Not just the surface kind that comes and goes with circumstances, but the kind that sinks deep into your soul. The kind that whispers, “Even now… there is beauty.” That reminds you to pause, to smile, to breathe in grace like fresh morning air.

You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t have to carry every burden by yourself. Just take the next step—bravely, honestly, even tearfully if you must. Healing is slow sometimes, but it will come. Peace may feel far, but it is drawing near.

And never forget this: You are loved. More deeply than you know.
You are seen. You are valued. You are being held by a God who never lets go.

So lift your head today.
Hope is not lost.
Life is not over.
You are still becoming who you’re meant to be—
and what a beautiful becoming it is.

With all my love and belief in you,
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

✨ Take a moment to breathe. Reflect. And trust that divine guidance is already at work.
