Publisher's Synopsis
Problems come in various forms and sizes. They have no respect of persons and span across all age barriers, cultural, class and creed. They are everywhere, twenty-hours per day. The aim of this course is to teach alternative interpersonal skills for dealing with conflict. Learners will develop critical thinking skills for problem solving by looking at issues from different perspectives, and dealing with those issues in a positive and constructive manner before they escalate into destructive situations. Submission to God's will is one sure way of resisting the enemy's taunting (James 4:7). Additionally, God gives us power to overcome him (Luke 10:19), and we do not have to be his willing instruments. The closer we grow in God, the more the enemy will be attracted to us, but we do not have to fear him. God gives us boldness to fight the good fight of faith as we lay hold on eternal life. Be careful in identifying the dynamics of conflicts and work to diffuse the flames of anger and strife. Know when to move forward and when to withdraw from a situation. Learn from the experiences that come into your life. This book will be in five sections covering Conflict, Emotions, Communication, Anger, and Problem Solving. These are the major elements, which affect our lives as we interact with one another. The biblical citations are from the Holy Bible, King James Version with italicized words in parenthesis () to maintain the integrity of the text.
