When Church Conflict Happens

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Dr. Michael Hare's new book is a carefully crafted study of the role of conflict in churches. One of the greatest tragedies in our churches is the massive destruction brought about by poorly handled conflict. Too often, there is an explosion resulting in an implosion that leaves the congregation and leadership reeling with hurt, disillusionment, and even doubting or abandoning their faith. Dr. Hare debunks the myth that all conflict is negative and helps the reader see it as an opportunity and challenge for skillfully designed growth. Moreover, he does not leave us with only understanding conflict, he provides us with a model, and a workbook for implementation and team building. This is an important book filled with new hope and opportunities for transformational change. I highly recommend it!”
