Description

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 of it. But what if Christians were the most unoffendable people on the planet?

In Unoffendable you will find concrete, practical ways to live life with less stress, including: 
Adjusting your expectations to fit human natureReplacing perpetual anger with refreshing humility and gratitudeEmbracing forgiveness and beginning to love others in unexpected ways
In a humorous and conversational style, Unoffendable seeks to lift religious burdens from our backs and allow us to experience the joy of gratitude, perhaps for the first time, every single day of our lives—flourishing the way God intended.

    Brent is a master surgeon cutting us with the Word of God with his “awe shucks” mid-western humor. I loved it. Great theology.
  • Giving our offense to God.

    Brant Hansen has taught me with this book how deadly it is to stay angry and offended all the time. Use to I would let my offenses eat at me, stewing how whoever offended me was wrong and I WAS RIGHT. Now, when I feel offended about something, and I can feel the offense taking a stronghold, I offer it up to God, asking him to take control of it, and I let go of my offense, those thoughts no longer mine. Instantly I feel a wave of peace wash over me. Bc the author is right: Jesus forgave me so I am to forgive others. However it’s now become for me to WANT to forgive instead of holding onto the offense.

    Been battling with bitterness and resentment for the last few years. Experienced what seemed like at the time, endless church hurt along with strife among leaders in my previous church. This book was a MAJOR eye opener for me as I never realized just how it wasn’t all them to blame, it was me and my constant choosing to be offended at things. Even within the last week I’ve noticed how not much bothers me anymore when I go out in public or when I interact with people. I’ve finally realized I can’t control people, I can only control me and my responses..

    This is such a challenging and counter-cultural concept. Each page is filled with logic and facts to back it up, but more importantly Brant conveys the point with grace and humility. This is a legitimate instruction manual that is absolutely a joy to read!

    Brant, thanks for showing the world it's ok to be quirky, introverted, and different. This book really helped me see things just a little bit more like Jesus does.
  • Amazing!
