Safe People: How to Find Relationships That...

This book opened my eyes to relationships that I thought were safe but weren't.

I have made the mistake of trusting the wrong people and been too kind, empathetic and giving. I had to stop assuming everyone was a good person. This book has helped me start to navigate and figure out who I can trust. I recommend this book and would read it again.

As a recent widower, the grief process has been a sad and lonely road as so-called friends disappeared. While it technically does not specifically deal with grief, the lessons learned in this book are very useful in connecting with supportive people.

This is a book everyone should read. It can be life changing if while you are reading it you ask yourself, "am I a safe person?" It takes you through the characteristics of an unsafe person, a safe person, how to become a safe person, and then what to do with unsafe relationships you already have. You need to look at safe people from both sides - are your friends safe, and are you safe?

This book is full of life-changing material. It teaches you about discernment and how to break the cycle of bad relationships. Since it is based on Biblical principles, it gives you a framework on which to build relationships. I read it along with the workbook as part of a Bible study a couple of years ago and it made a tremendous impact on my life. I recommend this book to anyone I meet who is having any kind of relationship problem - either with their friends or their family. It is excellent!
