Why Read This Book?
Most of us desire peace.
We do not relish conflict, whether with intimate partners such as our spouses, with extended family, with neighbors, or with members of other cultures or ethnic groups.
We do not look forward to conflict with business partners, with employers or employees, or with the government. Our hearts grow sad when our country enters into conflict with other nations or peoples, exacting terrible personal and collective costs.
Yet conflict seems inevitable, making the desire to live a peaceful life insufficient. Our desire for peace, while a requisite starting point, does not alone guarantee peace.
To enjoy peace in our lives, we require the skills needed to prevent and manage conflict, the skills needed to resolve conflict and bring about reconciliation.
In Taming the Wolf: Resolving the Conflicts Ruining Your Life we journey through the conflict resolution process, introducing mediation and exploring practical approaches to managing and resolving conflict.
In the spiritually‐transformative style of mediation presented in Taming the Wolf, conflict leads to greater spiritual awareness—an awareness that improves our ability to address future conflict. Conflict, when resolved with a spiritually‐transformative approach, turns conflict from adversity into opportunity.
The primary reason to read this book is to gain the practical tools you need to stop conflict from ruining your life and the lives of those you love.
