I’m torn as to what to rank this. I think it has some good points about forgiveness, what to do if offended or if you offend someone but I was taken aback at his attitude and stories at times. If a church is offensive, not following truth you should stay anyway? I don’t know what to think about all the direct conversations he had with God.

Okay this book is definitely a GREAT book to read! This books definitely shows me how offense can pull me from my relationship with God & teaches me how I can prevent being offended & also what to do when I offend others.

“Don’t forget he can disguise himself (satan) as a messenger of light. If we are not trained by the Word of God to divide rightly between good and evil, we won’t recognize his traps for what they are.”

“We set ourselves up for offense when we require certain behaviors from those with whom we have relationships. The more we expect, the greater the potential offense.”

“ He is faithful even when we are faithless.”

Three of my favorite quotes from the book! Highly recommend !

This has been one of the best self help books I've read and I love self help books. If you find yourself harboring unforgiveness towards anyone then definitely read this book. I definitely felt conflicted and convicted while reading this and I think it took me awhile to get through because I was working through an offense I had been holding onto.
In this book you learn that offense leads to bitterness and hatred and eventually worse acts. As Christians we are supposed to forgive like Jesus, which is hard because we let things get in the way. In the end of the book (I also read and worked through the journal) you have to forgive the people who you were upset at, it's very freeing.
Though that doesn't mean they will suddenly be perfect. This book acknowledges that and also how to reconcile with someone you've offended. Really great stuff!
