SEEKING PEACE THROUGH RECONCILIATION MANAGING ANGER, CONFLICTS, AND DIFFERENCES IN RELATIONSHIPS A PERSONAL STUDYThroughout our lives we will be in various relationships with parents, siblings, extended family, spouses, children, friends, neighbors, students, co-workers, team members, fellow Christians, and even acquaintances. We encounter people in stores, supermarkets, movie theaters, restaurants, banks, and social media sites. With all these interactions to navigate it is inevitable that disputes will arise. Conflicts escalate rapidly, tempers flare, and then words and actions can spiral out of control. How can we prevent these conflicts from occurring? When they do, how do we resolve them? How can we handle the obstinate who refuse to reconcile with us? How do we deal with our anger which might come raging up from within us? These answers are found in the Lord God's blueprint from His Word. This critical book discusses how we can seek and find peace through reconciliation no matter what the issues are. Every chapter opens with a typical scenario in which the principle may be applied. A scriptural principle and biblical explanation is provided to guide you. An ancient portrait is presented which demonstrates how Jesus, Peter, Paul, and others lived out all of these truths. A modern portrait of a counseling session follows which details how the author has applied these critical principles in different circumstances. Chapters conclude with a prayer you may use. A workbook companion can also be acquired. For group study, this book has been divided into a set of two smaller versions with accompanying workbooks.
