Rating: Summary: Literary Balm for a Hurting Soul Review: This book is a MUST for anyone who is involved in any kind of parenting or leadership of children and teen-agers. Mr. Peretti has bared his soul in order to help prevent another incident such as the Columbine High School massacre. It is also literary balm for victims of bullying or abuse, young and old. There is already a strong following as can be seen by going to the Wounded Spirit web site. I encourage everyone to read this book and pass it on; it is time for a change in how we view and treat other people.
Rating: Summary: A Sobering but Uplifting Book Review: This book is a must-read for parents and teachers, and almost anyone who grew up with a typical childhood. We've all experienced bullying in one way or another. This book gives us a rational but emotional approach to the degrading of another human being. Frank Peretti shares his personal stories of how he was bullied, and offers explanations of why it happens and what can be done about it. I couldn't put this book down.
Rating: Summary: Should be required reading for school! Review: This book is amazing! I believe it will hit home with everyone who was ever tormented in school, or was the tormenter! It should be required reading for junior high/high school kids. If so, I think that you would see a significant decrease in school violence.

Rating: Summary: Wonderful and helpful Review: This book was great! I sincerely think that everyone who works with children and teenagers should read this book. It is also great reading material for teenagers. I think if more people would read it, it would help them to understand that all people are valuable and it doesn't make a person taller if they make someone smaller. Everyone all around gets hurt.

Rating: Summary: For Bulliers and For Those Who Have Been Bullied Review: This is an excellent resource book for those who have been a victim of bullying and for those who have bullied other people.I could really relate to this book because I was verbally harassed. I could empathize with the people and situations in this book. I've felt the anger and the need to retaliate. I wish this book was out when I was in junior high/high school. I'd give it to the school administrators, teachers, and those who harassed me. This book pointed out and gave examples of how teachers, school administrators, and parents can help their kids get through this situation. And this book points out the impact of how bullies can really hurt people. I still have nightmares about that time period. An excellent book.
