This book is about managing and resolving conflicts. Destructive conflict is a pastor's worse nightmare; it is perhaps, Satan's most effective weapon against churches. Sooner or later, every pastor will face a major conflict crisis. The peace plan you have in place prior to the conflict, will determine how well you and your church survive the assault. If no peace plan is in place, the fire of conflict will destroy everything in its wake, downside the congregation, threatens pastor's health and even send him or her packing. This book is the solution preventing such catastrophe. Learn how to establish a lay leaders' peacemaking ministry at your church. It takes the pastor out of the heart of conflict, preserves congregation's health, extends pastoral tenure, and preserves ministry legacy. Churches are destroyed from within; they implode. It happens when good people turn upon each other and against leadership. This book teaches every member to be a peacemaker and a peacekeeper.
