The Art of Disagreeing - by Gavin Ortlund (Paperback)

About the Book

Learn from Jesus how to disagree with courage and kindness, avoiding divisive arguments.

Book Synopsis

In this positive and practical book, Gavin Ortlund looks to the Scriptures to discover a way in which to disagree with others that leads to greater understanding, peace and love--and that shows a watching world something of Jesus.

This is a much-needed message in a society that is losing the ability to disagree well. Whether over politics, religion, culture, or the more everyday issues of normal life, points of view tend to be held with a polarizing intensity. Too often we view disagreements as must-win contests or we simply do our best to avoid them altogether.

Looking to Jesus' example of courage and kindness, readers will be given a framework for engaging in intense disagreements with a love that furthers relationships instead of hindering them.

So, whether you tend to fight or flee, learn how to keep calm and stay friends--even when you disagree.
