The Peacemaker: Handling Conflict Without Fighting Back or Running Away - Paperback
by Ken Sande (Author), Kevin Johnson (Author)
Tragic confrontations at schools throughout the past two decades are striking evidence that teens need help and training in peaceful conflict resolution. God knows each conflict a teen goes through--with their families, friends, and teachers--and he is in control. In this student edition of The Peacemaker, Ken Sande and Kevin Johnson show teens, youth leaders, parents, and pastors, how they can apply biblical principles to conflict situations, allowing for forgiveness and reconciliation instead of hatred or violence. With an approachable style that treats teens with respect, this much-needed resource can be used individually or as part of a small group or youth group study.

Sooner or later, conflict will come. But how you handle it makes all the difference.
You might be dealing with a bully at school, parents who just won't see things your way, a coach who has it in for you, or some other conflict; it's a part of life you can't escape. The good news is that God cares about your struggles and gives you powerful truths in his Word. Practice his way of handling issues and you can start turning frustrating conflicts into opportunities to grow closer to others and to him. You'll learn: - When to defend your rights- When to forgive
- How to strike bargains
- When you should (and shouldn't!) let it go
- How to admit wrongs In a world full of conflict, God wants to involve you in making peace. This book shows you how to approach conflict in any situation in a way that will change your relationships--and your life. "Conflict is a part of life. What makes this book so important is that Ken and Kevin understand that resolving conflict is not simply a skill that can be taught. It's how we live out the reality of the gospel in our own lives."--Bob Lepine, cohost, FamilyLife Today "The Peacemaker Student Edition has life-changing and freedom-giving potential for young and old alike."--Randy Alcorn, author, Heaven, The Grace and Truth Paradox, and Safely Home "A must read for all students. Not only does this book teach God's way of handling conflict, it is useful in building confidence and leadership by example."--Joel C. Hunter, senior pastor, Northland--A Church Distributed, Orlando, Florida
