      It took me a while to read this book, recommended to me by my husband. I just couldn't get past the title and cover. I literally judged a book by its cover.

      Eventually, I read it to get my husband to stop asking me to read it. I'm so glad I did. The principles and truths brought healing into areas of my life where I didn't realize I was still holding onto offense. While I did not often like the deliver and language style Bevere used, I was personally able to get past that to the point he was trying to make. I would understand why his style would be a total turnoff to others.

      Doctrinally, I'm not sure if I can agree with every stance Bevere takes, but I was able to let the Holy Spirit reveal new truth to me the John Bevere and this book. Therefore, I give a solid 4 stars and can recommend it, trusting that others will be able to filter out what it is they need to get from this book.

      For the past year I noticed that I was being offended by everything and even the tiniest things. I had to forgive the very same people everyday for the very same offense. Two to three times daily I was having to forgive everyone over and over again for the same incident. I didn't understand why these same things that I would forgive a person for was bothering me and tormenting weeks and months later. This happened day in and day out. I couldn't figure it out. I didn't know what I was doing wrong. I forgave these people multiple times a day and still I was being tormented by something they did months ago. There was a very important element that I wasn't aware of and that was releasing the people who offended me. I would forgive them and still suffered as if I hadn't forgiven them. Now I have been able to release a lot of people from the everything that I held on to and I am completely liberated from the many months or years of torment. Thank You so much God for giving John Bevere this very important message to us all. Praise You Abba Father I am free!!! Thank You so much Jesus!!! Thank You so much Holy Spirit!!!

      This book just healed my marriage and me! I finally understand what it means to forgive. This book found me because God put it in my path. I had prayed for understanding of what forgiveness is and he delivered! Thank you for writing this book!
    • 5/5
      Powerful message that everyone in Christ should listen to. Jesus addressed forgiveness many times because we are prone to sin against God and each other. Forgive as you have been forgiven.

      Great book about healing relationships and wrongs done to you by others, or where you allowed roots of bitterness to grow.
    • 5/5
      It is a super helpful book. A lot of insight about the bait of satan in our lives. Thank you Lord for this book, its a guide to identify offense and to release forgiveness.
    • 5/5
      I couldn’t put it down once I started listening .
    • 5/5
      Convicting and very informative. Presents the spirit of offense and Unforgiveness in a biblical way and walks the reader through breaking of those chains. Highly recommend
    • 3/5
      The author starts from Matthew 24:10 which talks about a time when the majority of people will be offended. He contends that when we take offense to something, we do so because we are hurt by it, and our natural reaction to hurt is to build up walls (or strongholds) against being hurt again. The problem with this is that, when push comes to shove, we will choose to protect ourself over someone else that we have a relationship with (betrayal).Satan uses offense as a weapon against us. If we can learn to not let offense fester, we rob Satan of one of his weapons.
    • 5/5
      Just what I needed! Read it 5 years ago and it's still convicting and instructive. Definitely worth the read!
    • 5/5
      An amazing book. Indeed, i have been seeing more traps in this lately. The LORD speaks.
    • 5/5

    • 5/5
      Gut-wrenching book that truly exposes us for who we really are and compells us to transformation.
    • 5/5
      Wow, I’ve been struggling for such a long time to forgive my husband for all that he has done to me and reading this book I understand why it’s necessary to do that the Lord has commanded. It won’t be easy but I will strive
    • 5/5
      I will be teaching this as a bible study at church next month. It parallels the book unoffendable by Brant Hansen and is a true chain breaker in the struggle of in forgiveness and bitterness.
    • 3/5
      The destructiveness that ensues if offenses are not forgiven. Simplistic, but a needed message.
    • 5/5
      This book has saved my life. Thank you so much!
    • 5/5
      The majority of the world including the church is stuck in unforgiveness and grudge holding. This affects us to the core of our soul and holds us in chains. The book is a clear pathway to forgiveness and freedom.

      THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ IF YOU WANT TO BE FREE OF OFFENSES!!!!!
