This book has been highly recommended to me over the years by other Christians, some of whom are ex-LC. Since I am now slowly plodding thru the book, I am finding way too much application to pass on, so I felt best to post quotes and make comments on the way.

The premise of the book is simple -- God's enemy uses offenses and causes of stumbling to trap us as children of God. The Lord Jesus said, "it is impossible but that offenses will occur." (Luke 17.1) We all get inevitably offended, yet we never realize that it is God's enemy who caught us in a trap. We just assume that the is a problem between us and them, not realizing our reactions determine whether we are snared ... or not!
