 Written on July 25, 2006 Summary: Discernment versus Judgement Discernment is objective, it alerts us that some people, places, and situations are legitimate unsafe conditions to have in our lives. Discernment is having a clear head to choose to say no and be available for safe and healthy realities. And you are able to wish them well so they one day may find the way. Then you let go and forget about it. It is in the past. Judgement is when you take yourself AWAY from a situation but continue to judge and condem the very people, places, and situations long after you are gone through gossip, name-calling, and all sorts of cruel intentions manifested. It is subjective and harsh, and has the past in the present and future. That said, this is an invaluable book on the nature of choosing a loving life experience with safe and emotionally healthy people. We create our reality through people, places, and situations that we have absolute choice in allowing in. Don't be emotionally hijacked. Take calculated risks in life - that is different than being reckless. Have as happy an existence as possible. Safe is not boring if you look at in the context of what is emotionally healthy and honoring to yourself and others. A Warning from the Cover: Safe People (Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend) How to find relationships that are good for you and avoid those that aren't. Countless individuals have invested themselves into people who've shipwrecked their lives in return. They've been abandoned or taken advantage of, and left with little to show for what they've given. They've lost the sense of security and personal value in the process. This video presentation will walk you through frank, soul-searching questions into active changes and practical steps for growth. Safe People gives you solid guidance that will help you: Correct things within yourself that jeopardize your relational security Learn the twenty traits of "unsafe" people Recognize what makes people trustworthy Avoid unhealthy relationships Form positive relationships Written on July 9, 2006 Summary: Should be required reading !!!!!! This was my first book by Cloud and Townsend. I learned so much about myself and the others around me that I knew, but couldn't put into such practical words. The character traits of a safe church were very practical and insightful. This book pointed out (in my words) that our salvation is put into practice through our relationships,and that our relationships with God and His people are in a way, who we are. Every church/Christian should read this book and have support/small groups to discuss and practice these principals. I can only image the impact of Christ's church if that were the case! Written on June 26, 2006 Summary: Life Changing I'm a 'Pleaser'. There, I said it. If you are someone who has excellent boundaries, is able to discern when people are using you, or treat you well one day and not the next, don't buy this book. If, however, you are like me (before I read 'Safe People') and find yourself constantly wearing yourself to a frazzle trying to make everyone happy all the time, HURRY and buy this book. 'Safe People' will help you identify those in your life whom you find relate to you negatively if you don't perform to THEIR expectations. And, you'll see in this book people like the ones in your own life who will treat you well one day (or minute) and will be hurtful to you the next. Drs. Townsend and Cloud have co-authored several books, including their flagship book 'Boundaries'. I began my journey to healthy relationships here and immediately read 'Safe People' after I completed 'Boundaries'. BOTH are EXCELLENT! If, I could wave a magic wand, I'd make both books mandatory reading for receiving a High School diploma! 'Safe People' did change my life. I KNOW who's who now. And I don't allow unsafe people into my life...EVER! Written on February 23, 2006 Summary: Safe People Someone recommended this book and with the title I was not sure what I was getting into. However, after reading it, I think it should be required reading for everyone. The book is well written and discusses personal, personality charecteristics that everyone needs to work on to make themselves a better person, a safe person. A person other people can rely on to tell them the truth, to give honest feedback and to treat them fairly from an emotional perspective. I would strongly recommend this book to any age group. Written on January 1, 2006 Summary: Response to Renee's review I find Renee's review below to be hypercritical. Safe People is an exceptional tool for recognizing unsafe relationships--an engaging, warm, insightful and indispensable book, especially but not exclusively for Christians. I would put it in the category of Changes that Heal and Boundaries both for sharp insight and practical help. O.K., now look--no book does everything, and there other books which approach this topic from a different angle. Coping With Difficult People, for example, by Robert Bramson is good re people who manipulate at work, dominate in conversation, etc, but especially in high-powered situations like the office. Dealing With Difficult People (sorry, can't remember author's name) had insights on games people play, adult-child-parent patterns of relating to others, avoiding certain psychological "rackets", and even leading groups of difficult people, written years before the self-help revolution. His book is a stand-out, but often runs out of space for truly in-depth solutions. Difficult Conversations, by the Harvard Negotiation project, is the best book on practical communication--head and shoulders above, for example, Caring Enough to Confront, which itself is admittedly good. What Safe People does, very, very well, is increase one's ability to discern the unsafe people around us, and those same tendencies within ourselves. In doing so, it includes a substantial amount of practical advice and wry but humble wisdom. I do agree with Sister Renee that a section could have been written on 1)how to get out of such relationships especially when they are really sticky ones; 2)a step-by step approach to finding and grooming really good and rewarding relationships; 3)and a really good, annotated bibliography for doing further work on specific areas of relationship. As a matter of fact, I think Dr. Cloud would be the perfect person to write just such a sequel. I think a series of novels could be written for young adults which could indirectly address just such issues. Maybe Sister Renee herself should write something about the abusive, destructive types she is more concerned with. |
