No More Bullies: For Those Who Wound or Are Wounded

By Frank E. Peretti

Book Overview

If you've ever been there, you've never forgotten how it feels. It's being undersized or oversized or less than beautiful. It's knowing you are vulnerable and that someone is ready to take advantage of your weakness. It's the fraternity you never wanted to join-the fellowship of the wounded spirit. And Frank Peretti is a member, too.

In this powerful book, Frank Peretti shares his deeply personal story of growing up different, and the persecution he suffered because of it. And from this reservoir of memories he urges:

those being abused to speak up and seek helpthose in authority to take notice- and actionthe "strong" kids to stand up and protect the weak- not prey upon themall of us to stop thinking of abuse as "normal" or as "kids being kids"

This groundbreaking work shows how we all - bullies and victims alike - can find both healing and forgiveness from the anguish and torment associated with the growing epidemic of bullying.

Must read for all teachers, parents, kids

A great book to read for anyone, but especially teachers and others who care for children. We all can remember being bullied and perhaps bullying someone when we were young and this book helps us to use our compassion and empathy to attempt to change the tide. To say there is a better and higher standard of treating other people--no matter what. Also reminds us the reason why. A great book that I am so glad I read and have given copies away many times.
