Summary

People go to great lengths to avoid conflict-they shut down relationships, delay discussions, or stay clear of group efforts. In Fixing Your People Problems Dr. Alan Godwin shares biblical, practical principles that can turn around people, situations, and responses to possible conflict. Providing tools that can immediately be used in family, office, church, and other social situations, Godwin helps readers: deal with reasonable people and unreasonable people differently engage in good conflict and expect great outcomes avoid bad conflict with easy-to-incorporate principles change old patterns and problems with new communication appreciate what you learn from every interaction with others This highly applicable resource is for anyone who desires better communication, for those who assist in conflict resolution, and for everyone who wants to have positive connections and fellowship with others, even when they don't see eye-to-eye.
