Product Description
Product Description
How to Understand and Express Your Deepest Feelings Toward Others Conflict simply is. Believing that we can somehow avoid it can only damage our relationships, but when we learn to integrate our needs and wants with those of others, it can be a catalyst in our relationships for deeper loving care. This classic title in Christian peacemaking teaches the reader how to build trust, cope with blame and prejudice, and be honest about anger and frustration. Dr. Augsburger challenges readers to keep in mind that the important issue is not what the conflict is about, but instead how the conflict is handled. He offers a biblically based model for dealing with conflict to teach Christians how to confront with compassion and resolve issues in a healthy and healing way. Whether in family, church or work relationships, Caring Enough toConfront gives readers the tools to make the most of every conflict.

A superb guide to working anger for Christians,
By A Customer
This review is from: Caring Enough to Confront: The Love Fight (Paperback)
David Augsburger, professor of pastoral care in a Christian seminary, helps Christian people to explore the nature of anger and a range of ways to work with this powerful emotion. He has created a very helpful chart that offers five different ways of moving toward resolution (when the time comes) each offering a range of caring and confronting. They include choosing my way, your way, no way, compromise, or creative effforts to discover our way. Augsburger explores how the Bible encourages both assertiveness and caring and helps the reader to find their own path, blending the two.

Free from the guilt of Confrontation,
By Candice Thompson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: CARING ENOUGH TO CONFRONT (Paperback)
Execllent book! Growing up, I was under the impression that confrontation was a negative thing - that if I confronted a person about an issue then that meant I was a bad person for having poor or hurt feelings. After I read "Caring Enough to Confront" I understood that confrontation could acutally be a positive response to negative behavior. I highly reccommend this book for anyone suffering from the confrontation jitters.

Peacemaking...,
By Barb - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: CARING ENOUGH TO CONFRONT (Paperback)
quoted from the 1st chapter to give you an idea what this book is about ~I Love You. If I love you I must tell you the truth. I want your love. I want your truth. Love me enough to tell me the truth. This book really helps those of us at times that have had to confront and have felt guilty for doing so. Caring and confronting together provide the balance of Love and Power which lead to effective human relationships. Like anything else there is a time for caring and a time for confronting. Each in it's own time. Care when caring is called for and confront when confrontation is required. Excellent Book for help in knowing how and when to care-front :) |
