Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Killing the Victim Before the Victim Kills You
Derek M. Watson · 1997
60/100
👎 Skip It
The core idea — that a victim mentality corrodes relationships and that promise-keeping is its antidote — is genuinely useful and the Christian framing gives it moral texture. A 1997 first edition with no updated version, a small reader base, and a title that can land wrong makes this a harder sell outside its original ministry-circle audience.
