Churches thrive on communication; they are stifled by conflict. Renowned Christian educator Kenneth O. Gangel joins his colleague Samuel L. Canine to bring good news to the church - communication skills can be learned and conflict can be managed. The church need no longer hide conflict nor excuse itself for poor communication, but can instead acknowledge where it has problems and seek transformation. The authors offer scriptural strategies for overcoming conflict and for building trust in relationships - even relationships among deacons or between deacons and pastors. Drawing from recent studies in the social sciences, Gangel and Canine show the church how to manage strife and foster dialogue so that the church can flourish. Chapter titles include Learning To Listen, Power in Conflict Management, Negotiation and Bargaining in Conflict Management, Organizational Causes of Conflict, Coalitions in Conflict Management, Managing Conflict Destructively or Constructively, Stress: Cause And Cure, and The Workaholic Syndrome. This book is a valuable resource for training church leaders. It is also an important resource for those who are already pastors, for whom the issues are daily realities and not just academic theory. Through its use in churches and seminaries, the book is designed to lead God's church through its conflicts to renewed vigor in ministry and growth.

The transition from classroom lectures and practice preaching into the real world of ministry is not always smooth. The anticipation of putting into practice the ideas arising from one’s education is dampened by the emergence of opposition. Experience leads the youthful pastor to recognize the need to balance zeal, knowledge, and enthusiasm with improved interpersonal skills.

Church members look to pastors to guide them in their faith and help them merge theology with real life. Of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Arguments among church members, conflicts between couples, and tension over unexpected matters are all common issues pastors face. Dealing with Conflict helps by offering suggestions and recommendations for: Understanding conflict styles, moderating disputes, recognizing red flags, and more. After surveying hundreds of pastors, asking them what they wish they’d learned in seminary but didn’t, "practical stuff" was the overwhelming answer. Practical Stuff for Pastors is a series of how-to guides dedicated to topics like how to manage a team, keep a building running, defuse conflicts, and more. Full of tips, recommendations, and strategies to equip pastors for running a church on the days between Sundays, these handbooks are valuable tools pastors will reference again and again.
