The first time I read this, in 2001, I considered it an excellent book about the various kinds of 'controlling' people, and how to work under grace instead.

Re-reading it twelve years later, I found it interesting, but it didn't feel particularly brilliant. Perhaps because I had read it before; perhaps because in the meantime I've read so many other books about personalities, emotional vampiers, and controllers in general.

Still, worth reading, for Christians and non-Christians alike. Some interesting anecdotes, and advice for people coming across controlling folk, whether in the family, at work, or in churches.

Although this is an older book, it is a good introduction to manipulative, passive aggressive, and emotional personalities. I enjoyed this book as a high-schooled student. My first view into the world of unstable emotional relationships.
