The Art of Hard Conversations: Biblical Tools for the Tough Talks That Matter
by
About:
Your next conversation could impact someone's life forever
Hard conversations challenge everyone. Some people make every effort to avoid them altogether; others dive in enthusiastically, damaging relationships in the process. A solid middle ground is difficult to find--especially for those who want to make sure they're following a biblical model for these tough encounters.
Lori Roeleveld firmly believes that the dialogues everyday Christians delay are often the very channels God wants to use to deepen relationships and transform lives. And she is eager to address the challenges they pose and to guide readers to meaningful conversations that rely on the wisdom of the Bible rather than the world.
In The Art of Hard Conversations, Roeleveld provides motivation, inspiration, and practical, readily applied skills to make those tricky talks more effective. Through funny, vulnerable personal stories, sound biblical teaching, and sections of tips and assignments to practice, the principles here are guaranteed to increase the confidence and competence of Christians in discussing sensitive topics of every kind.

My Thoughts:
The Art of Hard Conversations is a practical tool that you will read and have little moments in your head where you go, "ah- yes." I read this book and took note of so many different things and found myself nodding my head at the authors comments so many times. These chapters will make the reader explore the way we relate to others, how we communicate and how we relate to other people. I know I found myself very challenged by this book and also doing a lot of self-discovery through this book. I think you will really enjoy this book. I know I have!
