Another way to respond to that question is by pointing out that Radical Forgiveness is a word-of-mouth phenomenon. Back in 1997, when I first published the book, I received a letter from the owner of one of the biggest independent bookstores in Atlanta. She said that she was noticing that people were coming in and buying a copy of the book and then returning a week or so later to buy six more for their friends. She wrote, “I have seen this phenomenon happen only with two other books —Celestine Prophecy and Conversations with God, both of which have become bestsellers.” I am not suggesting necessarily that you go out and buy six books to give away, but you would be contributing in a big way if you simply told your friends about Radical Forgiveness. There is probably no better way these days than to send out an email message to everyone in your address book who you think might be interested.
So there you have it—Radical Forgiveness is finally out of the closet. It has been, as it were, masquerading as simply a way to heal your life (which, of course, it is), but it is now “outed” as being a powerful technology that will, in addition to helping you heal and eradicate blocks in your life, raise your vibration considerably, awaken you fully, and assist you in becoming an empowered spiritual being, fully able to shift easily between the third and fourth—and even the fifth—dimensions of reality.
It is also a way for each of us, both individually and collectively, to make a significant difference in the world. As our vibratory rate increases, we will find ourselves being called to do more to help others and prepare for the great Awakening.
Thank you for being on this journey with me. There is much to look forward to and be excited about, and I am grateful that you are in my life.

About the Author
Born in England in 1941, Colin was raised during the war and in early post-war Britain by working-class parents. He has an elder brother and a younger sister, both of whom appear in Chapter 1, “Jill’s Story.” By his own account his parents were good people, loving and hardworking, and he considers himself blessed in having had a stable and enjoyable childhood in spite of the social hardships of the time.
Even as a boy, he seemed to inspire the trust of people who needed to talk about their feelings, as they found in him a person who would listen and not judge. After a four-year stint in the Royal Air Force, he became a high school teacher and a college professor, but even then often found himself being sought after to provide counseling for people. He has three children from his first marriage, which ended in divorce after seven years. A second marriage lasted only four, but he nevertheless remains friends with both ex-wives.
He immigrated to America in 1984 and shortly thereafter became certified as a clinical hypnotherapist. He liked hypnotherapy because, after some years of experience, he concluded it speeded up the therapy by a factor of at least three.
He was not religious then and still feels “free” of any organized religious dogma. His spirituality is essentially practical and down-to-earth, simple, free, and open-ended.
In 1992, he and his wife JoAnn, whom he met in Atlanta and married in 1990, created a series of healing retreats in the north Georgia mountains for people challenged by cancer. In recognizing that lack of forgiveness was a big part of the causation, they set about refining a new form of forgiveness which later was to become what is now recognized as Radical Forgiveness. Unlike traditional forgiveness, which takes many years and is universally seen as very difficult to achieve, this had to be be quick, easy to do, simple, and therapy-free.
In 1997, Colin wrote the first edition of this book and began doing workshops in January 1998. He now has an Institute for Radical Forgiveness in the U.S.A., Australia, Poland, and Germany. He has no plans to retire.
