When to Walk Away: Finding Freedom From Toxic People by Gary Thomas (Zondervan)
Thomas deftly explores the dicey issues of unhealthy relationships in this practical book. He provides a biblically grounded pathway that is pertinent to all of us who find ourselves entwined in toxic patterns of frustration with a sibling, parent, co-worker or friend. Sensitively and pastorally, he unpacks surprising biblical principles for dealing with high-maintenance people and helps us set boundaries and guard our life’s calling. This book is sure to be a classic for all of us who want God-honoring relationships.
