No neophyte in missions, the author has mastered conflict management literature and subjected it to the realities of the extensive personal struggles existing both at home and overseas. This is a rich compendium of Biblical guidelines, styles of conflict management and their development, and the emergent crosscultural factors that create a unique ethos in each context.</p>Warren S.
