Peacemaker Workbook. Ken Sande
Peacemaker Workbook, Ken Sande
Introduction
This workbook is designed to help you resolve conflict in an effective and biblically faithful manner. In particular it can help you to:
- Understand how a conflict began and is being prolonged
- Plan how to take responsibility for your contribution to a conflict
- Decide when and how to confront others regarding their wrongs
- Plan what you will say to others and how you will respond to their words and actions
- Negotiate and make reasonable agreements
- Overcome roadblocks to forgiveness and reconciliation
- Get help from other Christians when you cannot resolve a conflict in private
- Decide how to respond to people who refuse to deal with conflict in a reasonable manner
The principle and questions in this workbook are taken from The Peacemaker: A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict (Ken Sande, 3rd ed., Baker Books 2004). You will find this workbook most helpful if you read the corresponding chapter in The Peacemaker before you attempt to answer the questions. To assist you in your study, many of the questions are followed by a reference to the related pages in The Peacemaker (e.g., “PM @ 5-7) and to key Bible Passages.
This workbook may be used in two ways. First, it can serve as a self-study guide to help you plan how to resolve a conflict personally and privately. Second, if you need assistance from others to resolve a dispute, this workbook can help you to organize and communicate your thoughts and concerns as you seek their counsel.
May the Lord use this workbook to help you discern what will please and honour Him as you respond to conflict.
