June Hunt on Conflict Resolution

Conflict Resolution [June Hunt Hope For The Heart Series]
June Hunt is the author of many pamphlets by Rose Publishing. Conflict Resolution Solving your People Problems would be helpful at home or at work. People interact differently and have differing opinions. This is a breeding ground for conflict. The answer is not to avoid conflict but to respond to conflict appropriately.
June Hunt uses the character of Esther from the Bible to exemplify the model of conflict resolution between her Uncle Mordecai and Haman his self-declared enemy. Some differences may never be resolved but they can be reconciled.
Although God is not named in the book of Esther he is ultimately the one she turned to for her courage as she fasted and prayed for discernment.

Disharmony at home and wars in the workplace will lead us to a time as Esther did when turned to God for strength courage and resolution.

Conflicts cannot be avoided but they are not necessarily bad. Conflicts require action toward peace. Often conflicts require advanced preparation and planning and sometimes they can be settled through negotiation.

June Hunt shares the different types of aggressors and avoiders a various animals. It was helpful to see yourself in these descriptions.

My favorite part of the booklet is the last seven pages which gives me hints how to memorize and use scriptures to handle conflicts.  I enjoyed the story of Esther and how it relates to conflict resolution.

Rose Publishing has provided me with an advanced reader copy.
