Breaking the Cycle of Offense by Larry Ollison Pdf

Many marriages, homes, and churches have been divided because of offense. Sadly, this cycle continues because the offended person rarely realizes that they are the problem. Jesus said in Matthew 18:7 that offenses will come. The issue is not whether or not offenses will come, but how we handle them. To hold on to an offense brings unforgiveness, pain, division, and destruction. Releasing the offense and "letting it go" will bring peace and unity. God's plan for the believer is to live offense-free. This eye-opening book will liberate you from the fear of hurt and allow you to enjoy the blessings of God. Learn how you can be released from the cycle of offense. In this book, you will learn: - How to deal with offensive people. - Offense keeps us from fulfilling God's plan in our lives. - Offense carries serious repercussions that affect every aspect of our lives. - Reasons why we get offended. - How to release offense. - How to keep from being offended.

Her step-by-step program provides the necessary skills for gaining control over emotions, changing negative attitudes, learning healthy ways of communicating, healing the damage from prior abuse, and seeking out support.

Ending the Cycle of Abuse by Monte Perron Pdf

I wrote this book to share a mindset that has helped me reach a goal that I set long before my first child was born. That goal was to be a good father and have the evidence of well adjusted, respectful, engaged, goal oriented, self-governing, assertive, grateful, and considerate kids. To sum it up I wanted to be an effective father and end up with great kids. That was no small task considering the fact that I was a victim of child abuse. This is a book about overcoming. For those who also experienced an abusive childhood it will provide hope. Those without that to overcome will also be encouraged. All readers will be empowered. It is a win -win for parent and child alike! I often get compliments on the behavior of my children. For example, people say they are polite, or engaging, or thankful, or assertive yet humble. I get positive remarks about their hand shake, their people skills, and their work ethic to name a few. Am I bragging? Yes, but I am not doing so because I think I am super special. I am just repeating what I have heard. More often than not I respond to those compliments with this statement - "I purchased the good child option at the hospital." Of course, I say that in jest, but the entire time it is coming out of my mouth I am thinking that any father can do what I have done. My kids are "easy to love," and have been their entire life. They are my credentials. In fact, the way they have turned out is the very reason you should read this book. I wrote this book to empower fathers. I was an abused child and I share some of my story as an encouragement. For the person who also suffered an abusive childhood this book will be a beacon of hope. Anybody who had a great childhood will also be greatly encouraged because they have way less to overcome. There is value in this book. Some of that value is in the form of tactics that I have used successfully. It is also present in the hope of overcoming which is a common theme throughout the book. The greatest value is found in an attitude that will empower fathers to be more effective. I wrote this book in hopes that grandparents would give it to their children to help those that they love. I want my own kids to read it for exactly that reason.

Physical Abusers and Sexual Offenders by Scott Allen Johnson Pdf

Until recently professionals in both investigation and treatment have considered the fields of sexual violence and domestic abuse as separate and distinct. Numerous studies have shown, however, that these fields may not be so neatly pigeonholed as once believed. Statistics indicate that there is an overlap in both the level and type of violence exp
