Steve formerly was a senior editor with Multnomah Press and Questar Publishers, and before that was a reporter for two newspapers in southern Wisconsin. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and a Master of Divinity degree from Western Seminary in Portland.

Steve and his wife, Lisa live in Portland, Oregon.

  In the past few years a great deal of medical research--both money and time--has gone into investigating the health benefits of forgiveness. Landmark studies by Fred Luskin from Stanford University and Dr. Redford Williams of Duke University, among others, have shown how unresolved anger (often fueled by the unwillingness to forgive) can kill in several ways: the destruction of important relationships, the poisoning of work environments, even physical death.

Most recently, Dr. Dick Tibbits of Florida Hospital has shown how forgiveness training can significantly lower levels of anger and therefore lead to a reduction in blood pressure, thus lessening the chances of heart attacks. Join Steve Halliday, co-writer of Forgive to Live with Dr. Tibbits, as he suggests how you can take advantage of these ground-breaking studies to improve your work life, your personal life, and your social life-- and maybe even save your life, period.
