Unoffendable: How Just One Change Can Make All of Life Better

by Brant Hansen

Book Overview

It turns out giving up your "right" to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do.

It's a radical, provocative idea: We're not entitled to get offended or stay angry. The idea of our own "righteous anger" is a myth. It is the number one problem in our societies today and, as Dallas Willard says, Christians have not been taught out...

Customer Reviews

The World NEEDS this book

After reading this book; I could not stop talking about it any chance I could find to bring it into a conversation. I even spoke with my pastor about starting a small book club group using this book as the starter book. I knew that I wAnted to get this book into the world; so I wrote Brant Hansen an email and asked his permission about the books club, as well as doing a vlog to use this book for a type of video ministry. I was thrilled when he wrote back giving me his blessing on it. So, this book (or the words within it) will be traveling further than the book itself. I pray that it inspires others to get it, read it themselves, and pass it on as well!

Will be reading again and again and again

I don't think I have ever wanted to review a book everywhere I could and buy enough copies to give to literally every person I know quite as much as I do with this one. Worth it. Worth every second it took to read it. Worth every word. In fact, I could have read more words, but the ones he used were direct and to the point so I didn't need them but would have happily read them. I could read it again right now with the same excitement, in fact I just may start again tonight. This book is very direct and to the point with an amazing dash of humor and well of course that makes sense. I haven't heard a bad review yet and it came so highly recommended that I'm embarrassed it even took this long to read.

Indescribable impact on me

I've listened to Brant before & love his quirky humor. There is some of that in this book but also his no-nonsense positive admonition to get outside ourselves touched me to the core. I want my whole family to read this...the whole world would be better!

A wonderful reminder

I listen to the Brant & Sherri Oddcast all the time, so I was already familiar with a lot of what Brant talks about in Unoffendable. But it's always good and important to be reminded that I need to forgive others regardless of whether they're sorry. I also loved the personal stories Brant includes, especially the one about his friend who bought the shop in town. I love his writing style and can't wait for his next book.

If You Struggle with anger, bitterness and general negativity- this is for you !

The Title Is Not Just Another Superlative ! I am an avid reader,particularly regarding self help, counseling and such. I was a marriage and family therapist for years. This book offers a greatly needed perspective . Brant Hansen gives perspective about how we all (almost universally) get offended. He exposes the gospel of Jesus in a fresh manner, taking to task the tendency in the "church" to castigate and discard virtually anybody who does not see it just a we do. this is a great book for those who are always angry and frustrated. AN EXCELLENT READ !
