Everyone in life feels betrayed, whether by life itself due to failures, difficulties, and stumbling blocks, or by human beings perpetrating outright acts of betrayal. These scenarios are bound to knock people down, cause a loss of hope, and incite thoughts of drastic actions. Matthew Auguiste, in his book "Betraying Betrayal," hopes to expose individuals to aspects of their lives that could cause them to feel that way and create a proper understanding of how to act. The author weaves in and explains quotes and aspects of the Bible, including quotes from individuals, to drive the points home while also giving examples of possible life scenarios.

I must commend the author's skill. The book's ability to create understanding at almost every point in just one read is something that isn't found in many books. While I read, I understood the author's points in many instances and could relate them to my life or the lives of others I know. This means that readers will find this to be a beneficial self-help book. The sentences were not too wordy or ambiguously written.

The author's use of citations from the Bible and individuals also adds to its beneficial aspects. The good thing about what the author does is that the explanations are not left for the readers to decide or decode; instead, the author provides a breakdown. This also happens whenever he quotes individuals.

Even though I did not agree with the way every thought was put forward, such as the insights on things like self-harm, I certainly understood the point of view, which I believe is the most important thing when sharing thoughts with individuals. This goes to show that the author did the job well and ensured that I disliked nothing about the book.

I also did not find many errors when I read. The absence of numerous errors and dislikes leads me to rate the book 5 out of 5.

I will recommend the book to people who are interested in exploring more about betrayal, those who feel lost and have failed, or those who just want to understand what the Bible and some individuals have to say about the world order, which ensures that no pathway to the top, or just mere comfort, is absolutely smooth. Those who also hope to understand the position of God in our lives during trying scenarios and what our actions should be should dive in.

Post by Bro Jonah Kiraithe »

The book's focus on betrayal—including interpersonal and personal betrayals—and how it approaches these topics via the prism of biblical lessons and firsthand accounts are succinctly summarized in the review. This provides prospective readers with a clear idea of what to anticipate.

The reviewer admits that, especially when it came to touchy subjects like self-harm, they did not agree with every point of view expressed, but they still appreciated the author's stance. This fair-minded strategy shows that the review is well-considered and not unduly prejudiced.
