Audiobook narrated by Gary Thomas.

Don't let toxic people undermine your God-given calling. . . learn when to walk away.

Have you ever counted how many times Jesus walked away from toxic people or let them walk away from him? The answer may surprise you.

Drawing from years serving as a pastor, Gary Thomas, bestselling author of Sacred Marriage, looks at biblical examples from the lives of Jesus, Paul, and Nehemiah to equip you to handle toxic people with grace and firmness.

We often feel the guilt and responsibility of meeting the needs of unhealthy people in our lives—whether a sibling, parent, spouse, coworker, or friend. And most of us struggle to recognize when a relationship has become toxic and how to move beyond it.

In When To Walk Away, you'll discover how to:

• Learn the difference between difficult people and toxic people. • Find refuge in God when you feel under attack. • Discern when and how to walk away from a toxic situation. • Keep a tender heart even in unhealthy relationships. • Grow your inner strength and invest in reliable people.

Toxic relationships leave us drained, and we all experience them. If you're wondering what to do next, Gary Thomas has written this practical and helpful book for you. —Jennie Allen, author of Get Out of Your Head, founder of IF:Gathering
