Caring Enough to Confront

Don't avoid conflict. Use it to build better relationships.

Conflict happens. Believing that we can somehow avoid it only damages our relationships. But when we learn to integrate our needs and wants with those of others, conflict can be a catalyst to deeper loving care.

In Caring Enough to Confront, author and counseling professor David Augsburger shows how, in any conflict, the important issue is not what it is about but how it is handled. He offers a constructive model for dealing with conflict that is guided by the Sermon on the Mount to show us how we can confront with compassion and resolve issues in a healthy and healing way. With his expert guidance, you'll learn how to build trust, cope with blame and prejudice, and be honest about anger and frustration so that you can make the most of every conflict--whether in family, church, or work relationships.
