Publisher 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.

Unoffendable
A great book to read, let’s us know that it’s God’s will to live life without being offended.
Master surgeon
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.
