The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict
by The Arbinger InstituteWhat if conflicts at home, conflicts at work, and conflicts in the world stem from the same root cause? And what if individually and collectively we systematically misunderstand that cause, and unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we think we are trying to solve? Through an intriguing story of parents struggling with their troubled children and with their own personal problems, The Anatomy of Peace shows how to get past the preconceived ideas and self-justifying reactions that keep us from seeing the world clearly and dealing with it effectively. Yusuf al-Falah, an Arab, and Avi Rozen, a Jew, each lost his father at the hands of the other's ethnic cousins. As the story unfolds, we discover how they came together, how they help warring parents and children to come together, and how we too can find our way out of the struggles that weigh us down. The choice between peace and war lies within us. As one of the characters says, "A solution to the inner war solves the outer war as well." This book offers more than hope - it shows how we can prevent the conflicts that cause so much pain in our lives and in the world.

The Upside of Down: Finding Hope When It Hurts
by Joseph M. StowellHave you ever found yourself caught on a roller-coaster ride that you weren't standing in line for? If so, you'll appreciate the way that author Joe Stowell reminds you of the important truths you need to know that will help you hold on with certainty and stay on board, even in the ups, downs, and wild curves of pain and suffering. The difference between a roller-coaster ride and trouble is clear. If we want to ride a roller coaster, we stand in line, eagerly waiting to enjoy the thrill; but trouble comes to us all, whether it takes the form of the death of a loved one, an illness, the untimely loss of a job, or the sudden break-up of a marriage. It's a "ride" that we would rather avoid, and none of us eagerly stands in line for it. In The Upside of Down, Dr. Stowell presents tribulation as God's tool to prepare Christians for His use. Citing numerous passages of Scripture and the personal experiences of Christians who have suffered, Stowell explains that ordeals will come, but we can respond productively in the midst of trouble if we remember that there is an ultimate purpose behind our suffering and that the "end of the ride is God's responsibility."
