How to Repent

Ken Sande, in The Peacemaker, lists the "Seven A's" you need to follow to be truly repentant to someone you have wounded (p. 126-134):

1. Address Everyone Involved
2. Avoid If, But, and Maybe
3. Admit Specifically
4. Acknowledge the Hurt
5. Accept the Consequences
6. Alter Your Behavior
7. Ask for Forgiveness (and Allow Time)
