Responding Right When You've Been Wronged
We all know what it’s like to be lied to, cheated, tricked, or
swindled. Whether you want revenge or to protect yourself from
future harm, Phil Waldrep understands your pain.
Waldrep had no idea of the steep journey that lay ahead of him when
two men walked into his office and revealed an unfolding story of a
friend turned colleague who was living what amounted to a second
life. For years following, Waldrep sought to heal the wounds
of this broken relationship and confront the pain he felt in the
aftermath of this betrayal. Along the way, he discovered God’s
solutions to overcoming resentment.

principles and practical tools that can help you

- choose forgiveness and develop strategies to prevent future betrayal
Whether you’ve been hurt by a family member, friend, colleague,
or trusted leader, you are not alone. Even Jesus was betrayed. You
don’t have to let past hurts limit your future relationships—you
