About this product

Product Information

A stranger in a deserted parking lot offers to help carry a woman's groceries. Is he a good Samaritan, or does he have an ulterior motive? A fired employee says, "You'll be sorry." Will he return with a gun? A man tells a woman after their first date that it is their "destiny" to be married. What will he do when she won't see him again? A mother has an uneasy feeling about the new many she's hired. Should he stay home from work today? No one is guaranteed safety from violence these days. But we can protect ourselves, by learning to trust-and act on-our own sixth sense about danger. Book jacket.

What was advertised was the 1999 copy however I was sent the 1997 version. The current version cover is white, blue with a red stripe. The 1997 version is silver, blue with yellow stripe.

This book helps readers develop situational awareness that could save their lives!
In Matthew 10:16 in the Bible, God says, "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." This book provides the wisdom necessary to discern who is trustworthy and who might be seeking a person's demise. I highly recommend it.

Essential reading
I bought this book because I occasionally work with victims of domestic abuse, and this book was regularly recommended by the local Safe House staff. It is an eye opening book with disturbing but valuable insight. The author uses numerous real life stories to demonstrate that our instincts regularly give us accurate warning when we are around dangerous people, and that we ignore our instincts at our peril. I'd like my daughter to read this book before she goes off to college.
