Enemies Defeated: Criticized But Not Defeated

By OWEN MARKS TIVANE

Criticism is unavoidable-but it does not have to be destructive. This biblically grounded and deeply personal book takes readers on a journey through Scripture to uncover God's perspective on criticism, drawing from Timothy, Titus, James, Peter, and the teachings of Jesus Christ to reveal how criticism operates within the church, among believers, and in leadership. The book confronts grumbling, judgment, and fault-finding, while clearly distinguishing between destructive criticism that harms and constructive criticism that strengthens, showing how right conduct and obedience to God silence accusations. Woven throughout is the author's personal journey of rejection, isolation, and refinement, revealing how criticism, though painful, became a tool God used for growth, maturity, and purpose. Written for believers who feel misunderstood, judged, or attacked, this book equips readers to guard their hearts, respond with grace, and remain rooted in Christ-because a person can be criticized, but not defeated.
