A friend recently sent me a book called The Peacemaker by Ken Sande. I like it. It gives a very comprehensive and practical description of applying Biblical principles of making peace in very common situations. One item that stood out to me was a visual guide to the slippery slope in conflict. Some fall off to one side in avoiding problems even at the cost of relationships others to the side of aggression to win a problem even to the loss of relationship. It is a useful way to be aware of what happens to us when we come up against a challenge that calls for peace through wisdom and conviction to glorify God even if it costs us.

i liken the Escape, PeaceMaking, and Attack responses to Working Without, Working With, and Working Against. This really is a good visual. Thx, C
