Opis

Conflict is inevitable anywhere there are people-with family, friends, at church, in the community, in ministry and in business. It can either devastate or strengthen relationships. Conflicts are not destructive in themselves. The way they are handled determines how negative or positive they are. If a conflict between two people isn't properly resolved it can contaminate an entire family, business, congregation or ministry. Reconcilable Differences addresses conflict from a biblical perspective. Readers discover what God reveals about how to convert a potentially destructive conflict into something constructive and beneficial in personal relationships, families, as well as in the body of Christ-churches, ministries or businesses. Proven principles guide communities and individuals to transform conflict into strong, God-honoring relationships. These skills were tested for over thirty years with about forty-thousand missionaries, ministry leaders and churches worldwide. This book is divided into six Keys to unlock relationships: 1.Embrace Conflict as an Ally unlocks the keys to effectively managing conflict to build your relationships, rather than destroying them. 2.To Err is Human-to Confront Is Divine unlocks keys to make confrontation positive, rather than negative. 3.Ticking Time Bombs unlocks skills to lower anger with someone attacking you verbally so you can come to a win/win situation. 4.Facilitate Peace unlocks skills to empower others to manage their conflicts. 5.Houston, We Have a Problem unlocks seven powerful steps to help you or others find solutions to problems. 6.Overcome Obstacles solidifies the unlocked skills.
