How to Help People in Conflict: Becoming a Biblical Peacemaker (Book/ Paperback)

Product Overview

Everyone wants "world peace." But is peace even possible? Because the world is not part of God's family, there is no hope for global peace. It is peace within the church, therefore, that must be pursued by God's sons - those whom He saved by grace through Jesus Christ. While peacemaking is the task of all Christians, it is peculiarly the task of the biblical pastor/counselor. So we wonder...

Are you a peacemaker?

Is your church a peacemaking center?

Sadly, many homes and churches are filled with strife and misunderstanding. They are not dominated by peace. So what is peace - "shalom" - and how do we attain it? This book can help you and your church pursue peace according to God's Word... learn how to become a biblical peacemaker and help bring that "peace that passes understanding" into your home and church. Only the answers from God's Word can give us hope when we are hopeless.

About the Author(s)

For over 40 years Dr. Jay Adams has been calling God’s people back from their dalliance with unbiblical psychological theory to a renewed confidence in the power of the Holy Spirit and the sufficiency of God’s Word to equip the man of God to help his people with problems of living and relationship. Happily, many have heeded his call and over the years a movement, both deep and wide, has developed, consisting of pastors and other Christian workers who have been trained in and are practicing the kind of truly biblical counseling God intended for His people to receive. Jay Edward Adams was born in Baltimore on January 30, 1929 and was born again about 15 years later in response to the reading of a New Testament that was given to him by a friend. He received his formal training at Reformed Episcopal Seminary (B.D.), Johns Hopkins University (A.B.), Pittsburgh-Xenia Seminary, Temple University School of Theology (M.ST.), and the University of Missouri (Ph.D.). He pastored churches in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, served as a denominational official, a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary, the director of the Doctoral program at Westminster Theological Seminary in California, and then as a church planting pastor in South Carolina. He was also the founder of the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation in Philadelphia, the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors, and Timeless Texts which now publishes his books. In 1999 Dr. Adams retired from the pastorate of the church he had planted in South Carolina and has devoted his time to writing and lecturing. In the fall of 2001 the Redeemer Biblical Counseling Training Institute (RBCTI) was established at the Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Moore, SC to provide a vehicle by which Dr. Adams could continue teaching.
