Help (and Biblical Hope!) for Churches in Conflict

Our family is celebrating the release of the second edition of “Redeeming Church Conflicts” by the wonderful Hendrickson Publishers!

My sweet and silly daughters even held a little photo shoot in order to re-pose the picture we took when the first edition was released four years ago:

Oh, how we pray that you, or someone you know who is facing the heart-breaking pain of church conflict, receives biblical, Christ-centered, imminently practical for real life HELP and HOPE.

Sending my love and greetings from Dave, too!

Your sister in Christ,
 Tara B.

PS
My coauthor on this project, David V. Edling, was the primary author of the PCA Book of Church Order Appendix on Biblical Conflict Resolution. So if any of you are PCA, you may want to consider letting your teaching and ruling elders know about this resource.

As our own Book of Church Order states:

“Biblical peacemaking is one of God’s highest priorities (Matt. 5:23-24; Rom. 12:18; Gal.6:1); therefore, it must be one of our highest priorities.”

“Each presbytery should endeavor to have several elders trained in the methods of “Christian conciliation” (including mediation and arbitration), and available to serve as Christian conciliators in cases that could and should be resolved privately before judicial process is initiated.”

Amen!
