Thank You. I’m Sorry. Tell Me More by Rod Wilson, a book review

December 16, 2022 by Marion Van Driel Leave a Comment

As human beings we are susceptible to self-centered attitudes, defensiveness and entitlement. Conflict is inevitable in our relationships, whether at home, at work, in our friendships, in politics or in our faith community. Written not just for the Christian community, this book makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone.

As human beings we are susceptible to self-centered attitudes, defensiveness and entitlement. Conflict is inevitable in our relationships, whether at home, at work, in our friendships, in politics or in our faith community. Written not just for the Christian community, Thank You, I’m Sorry, Tell me More by Rod Wilson makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone. These three simple sayings, sincerely spoken, can have a life-changing impact on all our relationships, rippling out to our communities and throughout the world. 

Breaking through the surface of these statements is not for the faint of heart. Although they sound simple, living them is a life-changer. Living them requires humility and hard work. Wilson leaves no stone unturned as he uses personal stories to help unpack the underlying principles of these words. He acknowledges and addresses the defenses we create. He leaves us without excuse, turning our well-crafted justification of our own behaviors and our shifting blame to others, on their heads. 

These sayings can only be sacred if they are spoken with authenticity. Discover how genuine gratitude, genuine repentance and genuine validation can change everything.

He has held positions at Tyndale College and Seminary in Toronto and served as teaching pastor in a growing church. Wilson holds an honorary doctorate from Trinity Western University, recognizing his gifts of leadership and vision.

Wilson has written award-winning books, Counseling and Community and How Do I Help a Hurting Friend? and co-authored Exploring Your Anger and Helping Angry People. He is a senior writer for Faith Today.

More than his extensive list of accomplishments, Rod Wilson is a humble man with an easy manner who has experienced God’s grace in the twists and turns of his own life.
