What is Forgiveness?

Once a victim of horrendous sexual, physical and emotional abuse, Sylane Mack shares with passion, vulnerability, and some specifics about being victimized by her family and being raped by a stranger at age 12.

Her story is a mirror reflecting Christ’s suffering and His redeeming work and forgiveness in our lives. Jesus’ unfailing love has renewed and healed Sylane’s mind and spirit allowing her to forgive, live and love with a passion and joy that only comes from our Savior.

If you are a victim of abuse and still need healing, you may react strongly to Sylane’s story. It’s as ugly, beautiful and miraculous a story as you’re ever likely to hear. But remember: No matter what, love conquers ALL!

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” – Genesis 50:20

Since the mid-1970’s Sylane has shared her testimony of forgiveness with thousands of people in various venues. In 2003 she founded Transformed by Grace, a counseling and conference speaking ministry, where she serves as president, lead counselor and principal speaker.

Her book, Convinced!, is “God’s transforming love story written in her life” through which she intimately and courageously shares the raw truth of her pain and the power of God’s unfailing love, healing and hope in her life.
