Have you, like Jesus, been “wounded in the house of a friend” (Zech. 13:6)?
Our churches are full of hurting and wounded people. Tragically, many of them have been hurt not by enemies, but by friends and fellow believers. Ron Dunn experienced it, and he shares ways to deal with “friendly fire” without causing greater wounds in the process. Surviving Friendly Fire describes with compassion the various forms these attacks take, and offers a Christian perspective on why they happen. Ron discusses biblical ways of surviving – and recovering from – the inevitable. He also assures us it is possible to get past the anger, bitterness, and resentment caused by friendly fire, and even to give thanks for it. Forgiveness, while an obligation for Christians, is neither easy nor cheap, but this book will help you learn to “get even” God’s way.
This updated and expanded edition includes examples of how those on the receiving end of friendly fire were able to gain perspective and victory over bitterness. It also includes a thorough study guide for use by individual readers or in a small group or counseling setting. The study guide provides opportunity for reflection as well as clear, practical action steps for moving forward.
