Product Description Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." But it often seems like conflict and disagreement are unavoidable. Serious, divisive conflict is everywhere-within families, in the church, and out in the world. And it can seem impossible to overcome its negative force in our lives. In The Peacemaker, Ken Sande presents a comprehensive and practical theology for conflict resolution designed to bring about not only a cease-fire but also unity and harmony. Sande takes readers beyond resolving conflicts to true, life-changing reconciliation with family members, coworkers, and fellow believers. Biblically based, The Peacemaker is full of godly wisdom and useful suggestions that are easily applied to any relationship needing reconciliation. Sande's years of experience as an attorney and as president of Peacemaker Ministries will strengthen readers' confidence as they stand in the gap as peacemakers. | ||

Life-changing! The principles in The Peacemaker are life-changing, biblical and even, dare I say, counter-cultural in their approach to conflict resolution. I read the companion book, Peacemaking Women, last year and it changed my life and my marriage. My husband noticed the change in my responses when we had a conflict and now he is leading a class on The Peacemaker at our church! Every week, people approach him and share their own Peacemaking stories. The approach is not complicated, but profound and centered in the gospel. It uncovers the underlying causes of conflict and suggests principles of conflict resolution in which everyone wins and God is glorified. I recommend the study of this book in every church or parachurch, especially to those in leadership roles. Pastors are trained in preaching and teaching, but often untrained in one of the most common and destructive occurances in the church--conflict. Most church members are peace-loving, but have no idea how to become what Jesus mentions in the beatitude that says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall inherit the earth." The book explains the difference between "peace-fakers", peace-breakers" and peacemakers in our response to conflict. | ||
Great book, great reference This book is very helpful to read over when you are not in a conflict and I can only guess how much more you could get out of it if you were in a conflict. This will help you with everything from small conflicts that should be overlooked to something that has torn a family apart. Ken Sande uses many applicable Bible verses and a well written summary with questions at the end to make this book a great reference for any conflict. If one carefully reads through this book I don't know how they would be able to continue on in conflict with anyone. I would recommend this book to anyone and I think that the world would be in a much better place with a mentality that the Peacemaker instills. If you are hesitant at all about the book you can download the first chapter and read it for yourself on their website www.peacemaker.net | ||
Peacemakers Our church has been doing this study on being a Peacemaker. So far it has been a very good study. | ||
it was good but... great info but not what I was looking for. I needed info for my family and this is more for large groups like churches and not families. | ||
The Peace Maker By Ken Sande I have been attending a bible study at my church which is based on the book, The Peace Maker by Ken Sande. I was so impressed with the book and with the study that I ordered a copy of the book for each of my three adult children. The book is well-written and is an "easy" read. I only wish I could have had access to the book thirty or forty years ago! Any adult could benefit from the reading and study of this excellent book. | ||
