You Can Win Conflicts And Build Healthy Relationships

Conflict is a reality of life and exists in all relationships. How we handle those disruptive occurrences makes a tremendous difference in whether conflicts escalate or are transformed. In this very useful book, Levi Williams, a United Methodist minister, who is no stranger to conflict, shares a unique process of conflict resolution that will benefit those seeking to overcome their conflict situations and replace them with mutually beneficial relationships. Having lived seven years in his home country of Liberia during its ravaging civil war, Levi presents clear groundwork for thinking about conflicts; he also analyzes the strategies of three Nobel Peace Prize winners, offers crucial attributes for persons involved in conflict resolution, and outlines the process of "Face 4" approach to conflict as practical steps to a lasting restoration of those discordant bonds that matter to us.
