Safe People - How to Find Relationships That Are Good for You and Avoid Those That Aren't
By Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend
Binding: Softcover
Ages: 18 & Up
Too many of us have invested ourselves into relationships that left us deeply wounded. We've been abandoned or taken advantage of, and left with little to show for what we've given. We've lost our sense of security and personal value in the process. And what's worse, we tend to either repeat the same mistakes of judgment over and over . . . Or else lock the doors of our hearts entirely and throw away the key.
Why do we choose the wrong people to get involved with? Is it possible to change? And if so, where does one begin? Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend offer solid guidance for making safe choices in relationships, from friendships to romance. They help identify the nurturing people we all need in our lives, as well as ones we need to learn to avoid.
Safe People will help you to recognize 20 traits of relationally untrustworthy people. Discover what makes some people relationally safe, and how to avoid unhealthy entanglements. You'll learn about things within yourself that jeopardize your relational security. And you'll find out what to do and what not to do to develop a balanced, healthy approach to relationships.

Revealing Jan 9, 2007
This book is revealing both about yourself and others. Safe people are in the world and in the church, but so are unsafe people. It helped me identify why I kept repeating the same mistakes and how to enjoy healthy relationships.
Safe People Nov 9, 2006
I really enjoyed reading this book. Even though you think you know who safe people are, sometimes you are blinded. Dr. Henry Cloud has a great way of making sense of everything and helps put everything into perspective. I was so into this book that I couldn't put it down and finished reading this in one day. Hence, I purchased three more of his books.
Don't even need to read it Nov 4, 2006
I'm not even going to read this book. You can tell it's American from the title. I've been involved with several "unsafe" people in my life and have learnt from them. Grow up and get a life people, instead of looking down on those who are different or less fortunate than yourselves.
Was Jesus a "safe" person? I don't think so!
if you werent taught, this book will teach you Aug 15, 2006
I read this book a while ago, and I think I liked it so much I read it too fast :) But I see on here that there are some not so good reviews. I thought this book was fantastic! If you are familiar with Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, you are familiar with their biblicaly backed up work. In this book, they explore what makes an unsafe person, how we attract unsafe people, and how to find safe people. Another "problem to solution" book of theirs. They give a solution after breaking down the problem. After reading this book, I realized that some of the realationships in my life were unsafe and why. This book gave me courage to let go of these unsafe relationships or challenge them. To some people, determining safe people comes easy, but it doesnt always come easy to me. I may have an internal inkling that something isnt right, but I dont know why or how to solve it. This book is helpful in that regard.
