As one long journey comes to an end, another begins. Taming the Wolf: Resolving the Conflicts Ruining Your Life will be delivered in the coming week. The new journey begins with a presentation at 9:30 AM on Saturday, October 3rd, at St. Paschal Baylon, following a special Mass at 8:15 AM.
I look forward to stepping out from behind the computer at that time to meet with those who have so graciously supported this work with their prayers and enthusiasm.
And yet the final and most important version of Taming the Wolf remains to be written—the final version is the story you will author as you engage in your personal conflict resolution journey. In this sense, Taming the Wolf is not one work, but rather the outline for thousands of reconciliation stories.
The book and journal workbook are intended to help you blaze your own path to peace—the story of that journey, the story of how you “tame the wolf,” is the story that matters. My prayer is that thousands will learn to walk in the footsteps of the poor little man of Assisi, will learn to bring spiritual transformation to the ferocious wolves that attack our personal and collective joy, contentment, and peace.
One source of motivation for Taming the Wolf is a verse from the Gospel of Matthew:
“If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.”
—Matthew 18:15
Most of us nod in agreement when we hear the passage but then we pause with a question on our minds—“HOW DO I DO THAT?” This is the moment when Taming the Wolf becomes relevant with tools that can be used to clear the bramble bushes of strive and discord from our lives.
In the coming weeks, this blog will finally turn from messages of “here comes the book” to discussions of conflict resolution issues. I will expand on themes touched on in the book, and will provide links to other valuable resources. I invite and appreciate your involvement in this conversation.
