By: Gary Wooden
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars
“My aim in writing this book is to embrace our journey through conflict from God's perspective, whose goals are found throughout the trip and lead to His destination.”
Conflict – “Take Heart,” Jesus said. Written to display God’s perspective on how HE gets us through the trials and conflicts of life. Filled with Biblical promises and insight, this author reveals the path of the “overcomer.” This is a wonderful and scriptural read to fuel faith for the journey and to teach the truths of Scripture. Jesus did NOT promise a “trial free” life, but victory and overcoming through Him. I cannot recommend this book enough, as it is needed during this time in history when division and strife have infiltrated our homes, lives, workplaces, marriages, family, nations, and the entire world. Let’s learn how to be overcomers!
“I propose an approach that uses the Bible as our guide through conflict. Without a doubt, the Bible is the best handbook on how to deal with conflict.” ~ Gary Wooden
With such chapters as: A Theology of Conflict, A History of Conflict, The Origin of Conflict, God’s Purpose through Conflict, God’s Plans for Mankind, Summary of God’s Purposes through Conflict, Overcoming Through Conflict, Fight or Flight, A Battle of Wills, A Call to Arms, Peace on Earth, Resolving Interpersonal Conflicts, The Good Fight, Qualities and Practices of an Overcomer, Forgiveness, Handling Different Degrees of Conflict and How We Can Help Others.
“Shouldn't we recognize that God has given His people the secrets of not only handling conflict correctly but of becoming overcomers in the process? Why look to the world for answers? With God's handbook, we are called and equipped to show the world how to handle conflict.” ~ Gary Wooden
I would venture to say that most people need this book! The author has written a superb book on conflict resolution from a Biblical perspective offering solutions to becoming an overcomer. He has given not a secular formula for healing conflict resolution but offers the Bible’s way through conflict resolution. This is what we all need!
This book comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL. I might even suggest pastors, teachers, and those in any leadership position, keep copies to give out to their flock when the need arises. One can reference this book over and over again.
You may get your copy of Take Heart: The Overcomer’s Path through Conflict at Amazon and in Kindle as a download.
