New York bestseller Gungor makes an appearance with the book Beyond Offense. A book that shows the importance of connection with each other, looking beyond our shortcomings. According to Gungor, connections can be built from conflict; he quotes scriptures and biblical stories to support his words. Failure of retaliation and mercy leads us to Christ-likeness following the Bible‘s guide of forgiving 7×70 times. A trait that the majority struggle with, setting boundaries, however, helps protect one from harm.
Reading this book helped me understand how the author is the best-selling author. He transforms this topic and makes it interesting using narratives of different people, managing to retain the readers. Attention. Curiosity led to the purchase of the book, yet the knowledge acquired makes me happy I gave it a chance. As a step-by-step guide to building healthy relationships with those around us. I highly recommend it for everyone, although one may assume the scripture in Jesus‘s reference may mean it only applies to Christians. I, however, believe anyone willing to build and maintain relationships in their lives would find it beneficial.
