After several years of research and writing, my new book is almost here. I have a publisher and am putting the final touches on the manuscript. Small Wars – An Insider’s Guide to Resolving Faith Community Conflicts summarizes my 50 years of training and experience working with organizational and church conflicts.

This book explores new ground by going where none of the other books on church conflicts go. They almost always are limited to a single approach or promote a single “solution” to church fights. And that is their error.

I have worked as an interventionist in organizational fights since 1976 and I have NEVER found one to have a single cause or a simple solution. Like any large, multi-generational family fight, they are incredibly complex and require multiple analyses and intervention methods.

Small Wars provides those processes and even probes some previously ignored but crucial areas.

Perhaps the most surprising revelation for the reader is that no training  in conflict management or experience in facilitation is requires. Small Wars lays these out in easy-to-follow steps.
