Without Offense: The Art of Giving and Receiving Criticism
(Covenant Book) 
by Dr. John L. Lund

Book Review by: Lisa Mills

 

 
A sequel to "How to Hug a Porcupine", this book by Dr. Lund teaches us how to cope with uninvited and unwarranted criticism which often causes us to feel alienated and angry. At some point in our life ALL of us are in positions where we either have to give criticism or receive criticism. Maybe its decorated with the term "counsel", but the affect can be the same if the method of delivery is antagonistic and Dr. Lund is magnificent at instructing how to handle this difficult situation. He presents that avoiding criticism is the "living" of a higher law, and through prayer and love unfeigned we can become perfected in this. But since most of us cannot yet live that higher law, we need to learn the giving of appropriate criticism, how to receive any criticism and what to do with toxic personalities which offend our spirit.
 
This is NOT a "self help" book............instead it is a manual for life and how to live it with peace! I highly recommend this book.
