Professor Recommendation: Human conflict is a given in families, marriages, churches, small groups, and the world. Peacemaking is not in the Beatitudes because Jesus is just putting in filler. Peacemaking is core to being a Christian. So what Alfred Poirier offers is not simply another task in an impossible list of tasks. He's giving to the pastor some of the very tools that will inform every other part of ministry - preaching and teaching, small group leader training, the church budget - in helping pastors to become truly the peacemakers who are blessed. - David Powlison, lecturer in practical theology, Westminster Theological Seminary
Publisher Description: Every pastor faces conflict in the church, and Alfred Poirier has this loving reminder: we can run, but we can't hide. Jesus set the example as the Incarnate Peacemaker, and Scripture clearly calls his servant-pastors to be ministers of reconciliation. So the issue is not whether to be a mediator but what kind of mediator to be.
Thoroughly exploring the theology of reconciliation, Poirier adds lessons from personal experience and lists practical steps for effective mediation. With this comprehensive guide, you can embrace peacemaking confidently as a way to glorify God through the overcoming power of the gospel. And, as Jesus promised all peacemakers, you will be blessed.
