When Good Samaritans Get Mugged

Your mother probably said it—maybe your grandmother, too. They parroted the overused maternal maxim: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." They meant well, but they were being less-than-truthful. When was the last time you were hit by a stick or a stone that was hurled at you? When was the last time someone said something that hurt you? WHEN GOOD SAMARITANS GET MUGGED, by best-selling author David R. Stokes, details practical strategies for overcoming the depression, frustration, anger, fear, and discouragement we experience when we feel the pain of criticism, rejection, and personal attack—even though we are trying to do the right thing. There is hope, and there can be healing, WHEN GOOD SAMARITANS GET MUGGED.
