Betty Pries, "The Space Between Us: Conversations about Transforming Conflict"
English | ISBN: 1513808680 | 2021 | 216 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
We face unprecedented levels of polarization and conflict. Connecting with God can help.

Conflict is inevitable. But rather than approaching conflicts as threats or problems to be solved, what if we could see our disagreements as opportunities for personal growth? Could our differences push us toward developing healthier relationships and communities? Facilitator and mediator Betty Pries gently guides readers toward seeing discord as an opportunity for positive change and a way to build resilience. Rooted in the conviction that conflict can strengthen our relationships and deepen our self-knowledge, Pries offers practical skills for engaging conflict and invites readers into a deeper connection with the triune God, who unity is unbroken by difference.
Pries plumbs the depth of contemplative Christian spirituality as a resource for engaging conflict in new and life-giving ways. Rooted in Christian practices of mindfulness, connecting with our most authentic selves, and deep listening to uncover new possibilities, this book offers new ways forward in the face of interpersonal and organizational conflicts.
