Resolving Conflict: How to Make, Disturb, and Keep Peace

by Lou Priolo Narrated by Al Kessel

Overview

Many Christians see conflict as a dirty word-something to be avoided at all costs. After all, aren't Christians to be peacemakers who strive to maintain unity?



But, as Lou Priolo reminds us, many other things that the Bible exhorts us to do-such as convicting, rebuking, and admonishing other Christians-make conflict a necessary part of the Christian life.



Lou takes us through the biblical principles of conflict resolution, beginning before conflict even starts. He shows us the prerequisites we must have in place as we go into conflict, what is at the heart of our conflict, what makes it biblical or unbiblical, and how we should respond to it. He also shares practical steps and advice, giving us specific talking points to resolve conflict and journaling exercises that help us to grow when it happens.



Learn how to "make every effort" to maintain unity-even when that effort must start with conflict!

Editorial Reviews

Jim Newheiser

Everything Lou writes is helpful, practical, and biblical because of his wisdom gained through years of counseling experience and his love for God’s Word. What makes this book unique among books dealing with conflict and peacemaking is how specifically he deals with the details of the heart issues that need to be addressed and the practical steps that need to be taken. There are numerous valuable diagnostic tools and questions that will be very useful for pastors and counselors. His self-deprecating and transparent personal examples are also helpful as Lou shows that he too is engaged in this struggle.

Ken Sande

Conflicts are like forest fires. If you can put them out while they're still small, you can save an enormous amount of time and effort. That's why this book is so valuable: it provides simple, biblically sound, and incredibly effective insights for resolving conflict in its earliest stages, when it still involves only two people. If you learn and practice these principles, you will spend more time enjoying the people around you—rather than fighting prolonged relational fires.
