What If You Could Have More Peace Tomorrow Over the Conflict You’re Facing Today?

Sometimes it happens in a flash: a text, a blowup, a breakup. Other times, relationships simply fade: you and your spouse rarely make eye contact, you learn the friend you trusted is gossiping about you, the child who once held your hand is now an angry teenager. You go over and over conflicts in your mind and wonder How can I fix this? Or Is fixing this even possible? Or Why did I handle it that way?

With three decades of ministry experience, Donna Jones has had a front-row seat to all kinds of conflict. She understands the regret, guilt, and heartache that relationships can bring, whether we’re navigating decades of misunderstanding or discussing politics at the gym. But she also knows it’s possible for God to turn those painful moments into opportunities for better connection and a deeper relationship with Him.

In Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life Donna gives us practical tools to help us find peace and thrive in our relationships as we

• discover the single most important quality necessary to handle conflict well, • identify common mistakes that lead to unnecessary disagreements and brokenness, • stop being pulled into other people’s drama and remain calm in the midst of chaos, and • learn how to have hard conversations without being pushy or a pushover.

This spiritually rich, highly practical guide offers a new paradigm for handling conflict, one that frees us to communicate when we’d rather retaliate, move toward others when it seems easier to shut down, and honor God in the midst of it all.

Questions for reflection can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
