Book Description
Christians are invited to tread the narrow divide between gullibility and suspiciousness. The possible responses to broken trust, such as becoming suspicious, are not usually satisfactory, so the best plan is to establish trustworthiness first rather than giving the benefit of the doubt at the ourset and then having to tighten. We are commanded to love everyone including knaves, but trusting a knave is not love - it's stupidity.
From the Back Cover
How do you react when someone takes advantage of you? Do you 'turn the other cheek'? Or punish them? Or avoid them in the future? Pat Springle shows you a better way, and then gently probes whether relationship difficulties are affecting our view of God. Finally, can we become more trustworthy ourselves?
