Seventy Times Seven

Jesus’s Path to Transforming Conflict

De: Chad Ford

Narrado por: Chad Ford

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ when we feel stirred up with anger in our families, neighborhoods, wards, workplaces, online communities, and public forums? It is challenging to heed prophetic invitations to take more seriously the Savior’s call to “love your enemies” and to be peacemakers while maintaining integrity.

As a professor of peacebuilding, a conflict mediator, and a follower of Jesus, Chad Ford offers valuable perspectives on how to avoid or reconcile contention when life’s inevitable disagreements arise. Step by step, he shows how Jesus’s path of practicing forgiveness and reconciliation 70x7 has the power to repair relationships by transforming destructive conflict into constructive peace.

Peacemaking in Christ's Way

i love the way Chad portrays conflict in this book. He clearly makes fantastic points about how we can engage with others without claiming quick fixes but creating sustainable changes fueled by love. It opened my eyes to ways that Christ would engage in conflict.
