What others are saying about Who Can You Trust?

With profound insight and wisdom, Howard Butt demonstrates how trust is the basic ingredient of every successful relationship.  He vividly describes how betrayal and mistrust have destroyed relationships since the beginning of history.  Drawing on his own life, as well as the lives of his torical figures, the author provides sound advice on how to discern when to trust others and points to emotional and spiritual resources to draw on when one has been betrayed.  Because the quality of our relationships influences the quality of our lives, everyone should read this compelling and provocative book.

--Armand Nicholi, Jr. M.D., professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital  

I like books that marry Scripture and lifeBnot Scripture imposed on life and not life that uses Scripture as a spiritual commodityBbut God’s revelation and human living all tangled and mixed up so it’s hard to tell one from the other.  This book, Who Can You Trust? is such a book,  and I like it.  

--Eugene Peterson, translator of The Message

Here is a book that speaks to our deepest need today and answers it in a way that you’ll never forget.           

--Lloyd J. Ogilvie, speaker, author of Asking God Your Hardest Questions, former Chaplain of the U. S. Senate  

Trust is the stitching that holds the cloth of relationships together.  There are few gains that surpass the trust of a respected friend or colleague and few losses that cost far more.  Howard Butt is accessible and profound on this vital subject.  I trust him. I always have.   

--Bob Buford, author of Halftime and Finishing Well and founder of the Leadership Network 

Having counseled hundreds of people over the years, I know well the importance of trust. In Who Can You Trust?, Howard Butt addresses head-on the many issues of trust and mistrust and lays a foundation of insight that will equip you for any real life situation—from defusing a simple communication breakdown to resolving a hideous betrayal.  

--Stephen Arterburn, cocreator of the Every Man series and host of New Life Live!

 

Why is a book on trust and mistrust important?

Why?  Because we have to choose between trust or mistrust in some way, form, or fashion all the time.  When we buy a house, do we trust folks trying to sell it to us?  How about a car?  Often our dilemma to trust or mistrust is much more personal:    

     A cheating spouse destroys feelings of confidence and fidelity in a marriage.

     A friend's betrayal causes mistrust to spread to other close relationships.

     An undermining coworker creates a suspicious, tense, disjointed workplace.

How we sort out issues of trust and mistrust determines the directions our lives will take and our ultimate happiness and fulfillment.  Who Can You Trust? combines the best, most relevant insights from theology, psychology, and practical experience.  It provides a compelling resource for dealing with past issues of betrayal and distrust or for those who want to build more trustworthy, fulfilling relationships.

You'll discover that Howard Butt's new book:

     Is a rare book that thoroughly explores trust-mistrust issues and how they impact our lives. - others hope beyond betrayal

     Helps us examine ourselves, our own betrayals, and our lack of trustworthiness.

     Helps us understand the extremes of mistrust and how to use wisdom to establish a healthy balance of trust and mistrust.

     Offers wisdom for making tough trust decisions.

     Offers hope through our relationship with God.

Trust and mistrust are the two rails on which everyone travels through life. With these two rails aligned—through the curves and swerves—ups and downs of life—we stay on track.  If they're not aligned—not parallel—not balanced—we're headed for all sorts of collisions and wrecks.
