Good Morning Katherine,
I just want to thank you for publishing Releasing Judgement - it helped me enormously with forgiving & releasing of fear & guilt i had built up inside me for so long.
After prayerfully reading it & after i went for one more session with our area pastor & i could experience a breakthrough.
I was adopted when i was about 4 months old & my mother that raised me is the only mother i knew.
My biological mother doesn't want anything to do with me, i did meet her when i was 31 yrs but she still rejected me. I could forgive my biological mother in an instant even though she doesn't want me to be part of her life, but it was such a battle to forgive my mother who raised me.
I forgave her over & over & over, but then the Holy Spirit reveal to me that i must forgive from my heart.
I read your book then i wrote all my feelings down on paper, the Holy Spirit took me back from when i was little and i couldn't remember certain incidents, i wrote everything down.
I then read it, i cried & cried, then i prayed giving it in the Lord's hands.
I forgave my mother & myself & i could feel a release in my spirit.
We serve an awesome God - even though our faith withers He is always faithful.
Thank you, you have been a great inspiration for me.
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you abundantly in your ministry.
Have a blessed day.

Dear Suret,
Thank you so much for letting me know that my free ebook, Releasing Judgment was of help to you.
You have blessed me by allowing my words to connect you with God's love so powerfully.
Our words are nothing, are they? But somehow if they lead us beyond the words then they serve to let God in.
I feel God's gratitude to you this morning for letting Him bring you to the greater Peace that is His and ours.
Thank you again for taking the time to let me know and to inspire us all with your story of perseverance, receiving God's guidance.
You remind us all of the power of forgiveness.
You are His precious child,
Katherine

Katherine's ebook Releasing Judgment helped to reinforce the forgiveness concept that I learn in my weekly A Course of Miracles class.
It is stated simply and in a practical manner.
I am dealing with gossip a family member has spread about me. She doesn't want to listen to my explanation.
Allowing her to feel her anger and allowing me to feel my sadness and anger is just what I needed.
Also to release my feelings and give them to God is a very positive technique for feeling more peaceful.
Lastly, to pray for her and send her love helps me to connect even though healing is nonverbal but soul to soul.
Thank you I trust this situation is in God's hands and a miracle could happen.

Dear Joan Marie,
I really appreciate your feedback on the Releasing Judgment ebook.
As the Course says a miracle is a shift in perception. It is clear that you have allowed a shift to happen and created a powerful space for God to work in you.
I join my mind to see inner peace in your heart along with shifts in your external world.
In case of relevance, I often find that when I use the release to forgive another by saying...
"It's OK to say something about someone which is untrue and unfair"
...I find some self talk which is also untrue and unfair.
I can then practice being kinder to myself.
The other person may change or they may not, but I receive the gift that the person I am with all day long - myself - becomes a nicer person to be with.
With the Love we are,
Katherine

I cannot remember how i was drawn to this site or your e-book on forgiveness but what I do remember is that it helped me to understand the impact that judging was having on my life.
For the longest time, i thought that my judgements of others put me in the right and were a way of establishing me as a spiritual person instead of understanding that the judging was actually something "I" was doing and just told me how low my own self esteem was and how it completely missed the spiritual point.
How could I have love in me or be love if i went around judging everyone which is negative energy? That is one of the things that I learned from your book Releasing Judgment and others....
However, this does not mean I do not judge, if something is hurting another person, then it is time for me to take action, that is also part of the path. But if I am doing it for my own esteem or to further my own self, then I have a problem.
Thank you for this book.

REPLY from Katherine T Owen, webmaster at this spiritual website
Dear Sister Julie,
(I don't know if you are a religious sister or a sister in Christ, but I am enjoying calling you sister :-))
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that you received from the book on forgiveness.
I ask for God's blessing in your life and for your healing - whether the healing of your back or of emotional wounds.
My forgiveness experience is that I never know what gift forgiveness will bring, but there is always a gift.
Above all, be gentle on yourself when you are in pain. We can always be willing to let God love us.
With the Love we are,
Katherine

They really can help us to let everyone we meet become our teacher and guide us to experience the peace beyond any conflict. I am so grateful to know them and share them with others.
