With the United States more divided than at any time since the Civil War, polarization, mistrust, and blame permeate not only the talking points of Washington and the news media, but also most of our conversations and social media feeds. Yet in a nation with so many claiming to be Christian, shouldn't following Jesus, the Prince of Peace, leave a different landscape?
In "Peace Talks," pastor and community developer David Drum
carefully examines how we got into such a mess, boldly discusses some of Jesus' priorities within both political parties, and provides practical guidance for turning your painful and frustrating conversations into productive and fulfilling ones.If you're searching for a peace that speaks louder than today's cultural shouting match; if you're curious how those with an affinity for Jesus might offer a better way of listening and talking through deeply-held differences — if you're ready for some good news — join David Drum and discover how "Peace Talks."
Drum handles a challenging subject with grace and truth. I found his chapters that navigate the strength of republican and democrat positions particularly well done. As a friend of Dave, I can attest to Dave walking the walk of this book-- he is a peacemaker who bridges relationships and political divides adeptly.
This book looks at how we might interact with each other, given the current drastic divide between Democrats and Republicans. The model of “love your neighbor “ has rarely been so well described. Recommend
