Synopsis

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!

We do not understand how to avoid it. And, according to author Lou Priolo, we do not know how to start it appropriately e......more

Summary: A practical guidebook to the biblical prerequisites and principles of resolving conflicts between Christians both in home and church contexts.

Goodreads review by Matt

I always enjoy Priolo's books, this one was no different. Some of the material is found in other books, which he points out. The book is really divided up into two sections. The first one looks at foundational characteristics for being a peacemaker. He draws from Ephesians 4:1-3. As per usual he exp......more

Goodreads review by Justin

This is an excellent and altogether Scriptural resource that I will use for reference in navigating conflicts. While Part 2 breaks things down practically and thoroughly, the highlight for me is in Part 1, which is essentially a mini-commentary of Ephesians 4:2. This is where Priolo derives his cate......more
