In The Peacemaker, Ken Sande presents practical biblical guidance for conflict resolution that takes you beyond resolving conflicts to true, life-changing reconciliation with family, coworkers, and fellow believers.

"Ken Sande challenges us to act redemptively in a culture of enmity and shows us how to do this in our relationships with one another. A modern classic!"-Timothy George, executive editor, Christianity Today

"The Peacemaker is a rich source of practical, biblical guidance for resolving every type of conflict."-Tony Evans, pastor, Oakcliff Bible Church

"'Blessed are the peacemakers,' said Jesus. With crystal clarity this manual lays before us the wisdom--the real, solid, biblical, spiritual, personal, pastoral, down-to-earth, heart-searching wisdom--that leads humble souls into that blessing.--J. I. Packer, Regent College

 

The escalation of conflicts is a mark of life in the 21st century. The culture around us offers scant clues for how we are to cope with this increasingly polarized world. The Peacemaker points us to God's Word as the source of hope and help. It is a practical and faithful primer for how obedience to God's Word can change deadlock into restoration in families, churches, workplaces, neighborhoods, and even in prisons.--Charles W. Colson

 

"Biblical peacemaking is about more than avoiding conflict and keeping things placid. Peacemaking issues from the character of God, the Ultimate Peacemaker, the God who was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. Ken Sande challenges us to act redemptively in a culture of enmity and shows us how to do this in our relationships with one another. A modern classic!"--Timothy George, dean of Beeson Divinity School, executive editor of Christianity Today.

 

"The Bible calls Christians to defend the truth. But the Bible also calls Christians to work hard at unity. Ken Sande gives us valuable, practical help in our 'fight for peace' among Christians in addition to our fight for truth."--Ric Cannada, president, Reformed Theological Seminary

 

The revised edition of The Peacemaker has made a fine book even better. It provides God's people with what I consider to be the best guidebook I've ever seen on how Christians should resolve conflicts. The material is based on Scripture and keeps the glory of God uppermost. I especially like the authors' emphasis on the role of the local church in dealing with conflict. Every pastor ought to read this book and share it with the leaders of the church. It ought to be a textbook in every Bible school and seminary.--Warren Wiersbe

 

The Peacemaker is an awesome and thorough tool of reference on biblical peacemaking and reconciliation that will transform the lives of Christians in the twenty-first century. I believe that if the church were to take advantage of a fraction of the information found in this book, it would be a brighter light to the world as we lead the way to his peace.--Dr. William L. Sheals, Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church, Norcross, Georgia
