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 nature
  • Replacing perpetual anger with refreshing humility and gratitude
  • Embracing 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.

        Hansen is a radio host and also works with CURE International and is active as a blogger and Twitter user. So, while neither an academic nor a traditional minister, he is the very model of a modern Christian: full of a missionary's zeal and conversant with social media. Hansen's message is true to his approach. His mode is remarkably inoffensive, and the lesson he offers is that it is better for Christians to discard their personal (or societal) propensity to take offense or indulge in righteous anger. He asserts that being "unoffendable" is the meaning of service, of humility, of "dying to the self," as the faith instructs. His method is light, accessible, and occasionally touched with suitably humble instances of humor, usually at his own expense. Unoffendability, to the author, is key to the conclusion of a certain sort of pain and the answer to discovering "the joy of gratitude." VERDICT A slight but charming handbook for the contemporary Christian that will also find its audience among pastors.
