Book Blurbs: Mark Rockenbach, Unforgivable

Concordia Seminary’s Dean of Theological Research and Publication Dr. Kevin Golden sits down with Associate Professor of Practical Theology Dr. Mark Rockenbach about his recent book, Unforgivable: How God’s Forgiveness Transforms Our Lives (Concordia Publishing House, 2024), in this Concordia Journal Book Blurbs segment. Rockenbach, whose background is in counseling, co-authored the book with Ted Kober. “There’s a lot out there about forgiveness but not a lot out there when you struggle with unforgiveness, when you don’t want to forgive someone,” Rockenbach says. “This book is intended to help people who are in that particular situation. … Forgiveness ultimately comes because of what Jesus has done for us. One of the things the book helps to establish is that forgiveness is really something that Christians do.” The book is available for purchase through Concordia Publishing House and Amazon.
