• The Unburdened Heart: Five Keys to Forgiveness and Freedom (2000)
  "Washington author Nelson has moved far afield from her identity as a sportswriter with this well-researched, honest, and inspiring book. Whether the grudges we carry are the result of violence, infidelity, or the smaller missteps of daily life, Nelson believes the way to an open heart is to forgive those who have wronged us—and here’s the rub: to do it whether they ask us to or not. 'As a forgiver,' she writes, 'you add goodness to the world and can in turn enjoy that feeling of generosity. In that state of mind, you’re likely to feel not only healthier but also more forgiving of other human mistakes, including your own.'" -- William O’Sullivan (Features Editor), Washingtonian Magazine Online, July 2000
