It includes stories and interviews with people from a variety of faith traditions: Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh on forgiveness in Buddhism; Nobel Peace Laureate Elie Wiesel on forgiveness in the Jewish faith; Azim Khamisa on forgiveness and Islam; Rev. James Forbes, pastor of Riverside Church in New York, on forgiveness from a Christian perspective and best-selling author Thomas Moore (Care of the Soul).
