We all experience difficult relationships. Oftentimes we try to reconcile but the other person simply won't, or else we find they can't keep the commitments they made during reconciliation. How do we handle these tough relationships in a way that brings peace to our lives and glory to God?
Through seven clear and actionable shifts drawn from Scripture, P. Brian Noble shows you how to change your thinking when it comes to tough relationships so that you see the challenging people in your life as God sees them. He then outlines practical and proven ways to reach reconciliation and keep the peace--even when the other person doesn't hold up their end of the bargain.
If you long to be reconciled and live at peace with the people in your family, workplace, church, and community, this book will give you the courage, compassion, and tools to do so.
What a great guide to fixing relationships. I have tried to make amends to my sister-in-law without success. I have a nineteen year old daughter that has gone away to college and I feel like I have lost any hope of having a relationship with her. I cry every day wondering how I can get her to return my text or call me. It like she wants nothing to do with me. P. Brian Noble has really given me hope through Scripture and God. How to handle these tough relationships in a way that brings peace to our lives and glory to God. Thanks P. Brian Noble. Highly recommend.
I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway and am providing an honest review. Depending on where you are in your Christian faith journey, you may find it easier to skim the first three-four chapters and review the end of chapter notes. During these beginning chapters I personally felt the ‘I already know this…where is the actual help?’ I do though understand the need for building a base for where this book will take you. The difficulty in books that profess to help in conflict resolution, is that every person is different and therefore how they handle conflict is different - not to mention the person who they are in conflict with. It’s like rolling a pair of dice - the combination is nearly endless. Ultimately resolution is not easy, and I’m not sure how I feel about the premise that if it isn’t resolved in this world it will be in the next band aide answer (given that both are of faith). I will say this book does offer much to consider in moving toward reconciliation but not enough on how to proceed with living unreconciled - because that too happens.
