Download or read book Seeking Peace Through Reconciliation Managing Anger Conflicts and Differences in Relationships a Personal Study written by Donald Jones and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout 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. For a quick read there is an abridged edition (A Book Short) which can also be purchased.

Book Seeking Peace Through Reconciliation Managing Anger  Conflicts  and Differences in Relationships

Download or read book Seeking Peace Through Reconciliation Managing Anger Conflicts and Differences in Relationships written by Donald Jones and published by J & a Book Publishers. This book was released on 2016-12-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workbook of the same name is designed to aid in your comprehension and application of the truths from the Scriptures which are explained in the book. It has a question and answer format because asking questions was a powerful teaching method that Jesus used to reveal God's divine truth. In His instruction to the people of God and others, the Lord asked over one hundred and thirty questions. Those mentioned in the gospels were only the recorded ones. We can only speculate as to how many questions He might have actually asked. The Lord Jesus Christ used His questioning techniques for the purpose of prompting His listeners to focus, understand, analyze, evaluate, and apply the divine principles He was proclaiming to them. The author has attempted to do the same in this workbook. May you find God's great wisdom as you ponder the answers to these questions. For group study, the comprehensive book that this workbook supports has been divided into two smaller books with accompanying workbooks. For a quick read there is an abridged edition (A Book Short) which can also be purchased.

Book Fault Lines

Download or read book Fault Lines written by Karl Pillemer, Ph.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real solutions to a hidden epidemic: family estrangement. Estrangement from a family member is one of the most painful life experiences. It is devastating not only to the individuals directly involved--collateral damage can extend upward, downward, and across generations, More than 65 million Americans suffer such rifts, yet little guidance exists on how to cope with and overcome them. In this book, Karl Pillemer combines the advice of people who have successfully reconciled with powerful insights from social science research. The result is a unique guide to mending fractured families. Fault Lines shares for the first time findings from Dr. Pillemer's ten-year groundbreaking Cornell Reconciliation Project, based on the first national survey on estrangement; rich, in-depth interviews with hundreds of people who have experienced it; and insights from leading family researchers and therapists. He assures people who are estranged, and those who care about them, that they are not alone and that fissures can be bridged. Through the wisdom of people who have "been there," Fault Lines shows how healing is possible through clear steps that people can use right away in their own families. It addresses such questions as: How do rifts begin? What makes estrangement so painful? Why is it so often triggered by a single event? Are you ready to reconcile? How can you overcome past hurts to build a new future with a relative? Tackling a subject that is achingly familiar to almost everyone, especially in an era when powerful outside forces such as technology and mobility are lessening family cohesion, Dr. Pillemer combines dramatic stories, science-based guidance, and practical repair tools to help people find the path to reconciliation.

Most of them draw on the experience of people grappling with the problems of past violence and injustice.

Book excerpt: Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

  • ISBN : 1441201424
  • Pages : 320 pages

Download or read book The Peacemaking Pastor written by Alfred J. Poirier and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminaries generally are not very effective in equipping pastors to be ministers of reconciliation, says pastor and experienced mediator Alfred Poirier. The result is pastors trained in biblical exposition, well-ordered worship, and good theology, but with little practical know-how about one of the most important functions they will be expected to perform: conflict resolution. The Peacemaking Pastor provides a survey of the nature and kinds of conflict typical in the pastorate to bring to light the need to recover the ministry of reconciliation. Poirier, chairman of the board of Peacemaker Ministries, shows pastors the importance of a reconciliation ministry, gives them a theological framework for peacemaking, and provides practical tools for facilitating the peacemaking process. Written by a pastor for pastors, this insightful book will encourage and equip seminaries and ministry leaders in their original calling-promoting a culture of peacemaking in the church.

Book Fierce Marriage

  • Author : Ryan Frederick
  • Publisher : Baker Books
  • Release : 2018-04-17
  • ISBN : 1493412779
  • Pages : 221 pages

Download or read book Fierce Marriage written by Ryan Frederick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.
