Get This Book!

By far, this is one of the most helpful books I have ever read. A mentor of mine gave me this book and I couldn't put it down. Basically, this book is about dealing with people. I struggle daily with the desire to never get hurt, which is not realistic at all. I tend to look into, and think about things way too much, which only leads to my mind going where it doesn't need to. When it goes there, I decide why someone said  something the way they did, and decide why someone else did what they did. They may not have meant it that way, but in an effort to be "ahead of the hurt", I would analyze and determine for myself the reasons for other's actions. This way I wouldn't be dealt a blow I wasn't ready for. This is not fair to the other person, or to myself. Living this way was not only NOT keeping me from getting hurt, but inviting a tremendous amount of pain in my life. This book talks about not judging the actions of others, and ways to handle a situation when the other person really does mean to be hurtful. Satan knows this weakness in my life, and I refuse to let him have a hold on me!
