SynopsisConquer the Pitfalls of Controversy One of God's most effective tools for shaping your character as a pastor or church leader are the hardships and difficult times you experience through controversy in the church. Though it is not easy to hear, ministry will get tough. That is a reality that is important for you both to understand and to overcome. In Character Forged From Conflict, author Gary Preston explores how the church--though still the Bride of Christ--can sometimes seem to steal what's most precious to you: your desire to serve God and people. Using scripture and illustrative stories, Preston addresses the key issues for recognizing, avoiding, or appropriately handling conflict including: Reaching out to those who may be in opposition to you Preaching through controversy Resisting the urge to strike back Meeting the important needs of your own family Character Forged From Conflict, like the other books in THE PASTOR'S SOUL SERIES, will prove itself a valuable resource for you. Developed in partnership with Leadership, each book addresses key issues and needs of the modern church.
