Book Details
A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND!
CONFLICT, and the division, ill-will, and heartache it brings, seems to prevail all around us. Regrettably, people of faith are not immune from the impact of conflict. In fact, too often, it seems that those who profess faith in Christ experience conflict in a disproportionate measure. Christian families, church leadership teams, Christian-owned businesses, and even churches themselves, too frequently disintegrate under the heavy burdens of unresolved conflict. This book is presented as a resource for gaining a fuller understanding of conflict between Christ followers and for increasing the effectiveness of conflict resolution efforts. It uniquely draws from multiple conflict-resolution disciplines, combining and unifying each with a fuller and more complete understanding of relevant biblical guidance. And it provides the effective strategies necessary to restore peace and unity among those entwined in conflict. Whether one is embroiled in a conflict or is seeking to help manage or resolve a conflict between others, this book is ultimately designed to help the readers’ efforts to promote and restore unity and peace between those within the community of Christ followers who are struggling in conflict, and to do so in a way that honors God and the guidance provided in His Word.
