Author: Deborah Smith Pegues

(publisher’s overview)
Where there are people, there are disagreements and misunderstandings. Deborah Smith Pegues draws on God’s Word, personal experience, and research to show how to approach difficult situations so relationships are strengthened not broken. Meeting face–to–face to resolve an issue is difficult, but Pegues makes it easier by revealing how to avoid complications, sharing examples of good communication, and offering specific steps for dealing with conflicts.
