A world by its persistent and usually horrific presentation of acts of violent atrocities, a chronic malicious and vitriolic media discourse, is seemingly fast becoming dispassionate to the golden rule of love thy neighbor as thyself. The times in which we now live command a civil pause to ponder whether or not we are in the age of waxen love, as is predicted by Jesus. Forgiveness, the numberless virtue, and the healing it brings to the proliferated pain and discourtesy in our civility, is now a vital and welcomed social partner. The Numberless Virtue is a timely book which breaks the Divine code of forgiveness and discloses a formula which neutralizes the human will to choose unforgiveness over forgiveness. It encourages our resolve to liberate our desire to seek to be forgiven so as to experience the subsequent exhilaration of personal relief and joy. Rev. Jackson Michael McIntosh in the same sermonizing style of Stigma Our Social Leprosy, dissects the DNA of forgiveness, and reveals its supernatural power at work in the affairs of our humanity. He engages an interwoven and panoramic view, which traces the forgiveness plan from before the genesis of man, to The Garden of Eden, to Isaacs and Rebekah and the Abrahamic covenant, to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The forgiveness characteristics are expounded and touted in relationships of marriage, friendship, family, church, politics. community, war, civil and world comradeship. A read of The Numberless Virtue is an inspiration to believe again in the good which is found in all mankind. It calls to focus the image of God which adorns each of us and helps to make people better see how when their better angels lead, the brilliance of His glory lights a redeeming pathway for persons who are living in the dungeons of bitterness to break free, and embrace a superior, more productive, and glorious freedom
