In today's polarized world, friends and strangers clash with each other over issues large and small. Coworkers have conflicts in the office. Married couples fight over finances. And online commenters demonize one another's political and religious perspectives. Is there any hope for restoring civil discourse? Communications expert Tim Muehlhoff provides a strategy for having difficult conversations, helping us move from contentious debate to constructive dialogue. By acknowledging and entering into the other person's story, we are more likely to understand where they're coming from and to cultivate common ground. Insights from Scripture and communication theory provide practical ways to manage disagreements and resolve conflicts. We can disagree without being disagreeable. And we can even help another see different points of view and learn from one another. Find out how.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>I Beg to Differ</em> charts the course we are looking for. Considering the causes of conflict, the power of words, our emotions and the role of spiritual disciplines, Muehlhoff offers a four-question strategy that helps us engage any disagreement with gentle conversation. The book closes with three case studies, applying the strategy to real-life, potentially volatile situations. So insightful! Fans of Ken Sande's <em>Peacemaker</em> will love this. Recommend this book to everyone.</p>--David Mundt, CBA Retailers + Resources, April 2014<br><br><p>Communications expert Tim Muehlhoff provides a strategy for having difficult conversations, helping us move from contentious debate to constructive dialogue.

Insights from Scripture and communication theory provide practical ways to manage disagreements and resolve conflicts.</p>--Light Magazine, April 2014<br><br><p>If we do nothing beyond listening with a sincere desire to understand our opponents and ask ourselves this question, it's possible we'll get farther than by pushing our own position too hard. In our rush to convince others that we're right and they're wrong about issues, we often run roughshod over relationships that could be vital to creating lasting change on issues about which we are passionate. <em>I Beg to Differ</em> is an excellent resource with helpful chapter summaries for easily bookmarking the many communication strategies it presents.</p>--Christine A. Scheller, Sojourners, December 2014<br><br><p>In his book, <em>I Beg to Differ</em>, Tim Muehlhoff provides an edifying foundation for navigating life's difficult conversations. Balanced with a healthy dosage of theoretical and practical insight into speech, communication and word choice, Muehlhoff peppers his book with solid scriptural support, realistic life examples and illustrations and insight from some of the leading scholars in the field of communication.</p>--Kevin Carrigan, Mennonite Brethren Herald, December 27, 2014<br><br><p>This book prepares all Christians to face many of the blunt questions that unbelievers pose to them. It's a good handbook for survival methods during evangelistic outreach work.</p>--Church Libraries, Summer 2014<br>
