Making

Practical Skills
for Conflict Transformation
Comment: “Carolyn Schrock-Shenk
and Lawrence Ressler have done us a great service by
pulling together this book. The many contributors bring
to the subject depth and breadth that is biblically
grounded, practical, and sensitive to a wide range of
perspectives.” —Noel Santiago, in the
Foreword
Summary: Does conflict still surprise
or overwhelm you? Do you wish you had a better
understanding of how to transform life’s inevitable
conflicts from problems to opportunities? Do you wonder
what power has to with conflict?
Here is a practical guide to understanding and
transforming conflict based on biblical and Anabaptist
principles. Over twenty noted authors shaped by many
experiences and cultures tell of lessons taught by
walking conflict’s holy ground. Some insights will
be familiar, some new—and some may trigger new
conflict!
Study groups will find Making Peace with Conflict
an excellent resource. Study questions continue the
conversation of the seventeen chapters and highlight
common ground as well as differences readers may have
with authors.
