Summary
Details

Managing Conflict God's Way is more than just a helpful book-it's a timely and Spirit-led resource that speaks directly to the heart of where so many of us live and lead: in the often messy, complicated world of human relationships. Rooted in Scripture and filled with practical wisdom, this book guides and equips pastors and Christian leaders with everyday tools to move beyond avoidance or aggression and toward healing and reconciliation-even in life's hardest moments. As a former pastor, I know how easily unresolved conflict can tear at the fabric of a church, break families apart, and damage the witness of the gospel. That's why this book matters. It offers more than just strategies and skills-it invites you into a Christ-centered way of living and leading, grounded in the call to ""love your neighbor as yourself."" In today's divided world, this book is both a timely and transformative guide-a much-needed resource for the church. I wholeheartedly recommend Managing Conflict God's Way to every Christian leader who desires to walk in peace and guide those they lead on the path of a true peacemaker.

The writing is clear, thoughtful, and grounded in both biblical truth and sound conflict theory. It begins with a thorough discussion of Scripture and its mandates for managing relationships and conflict, then moves into an extensive exploration of conflict theory, principles, and strategies. While it covers standard topics in the field, it also addresses areas not typically found in conflict texts. For example, the discussion of interests and satisfaction goes beyond the basics to offer detailed strategies for collaboration. Topics such as building trust, recognizing boundaries, seizing the opportunities of conflict, forgiveness and reconciliation, confrontational communication, and the dangers of demonizing others are all handled with depth and originality-supported by Scripture, contemporary conflict theory, and a rich tapestry of examples drawn from Richard's extensive professional experience in both secular and faith-based contexts.
