I cannot say enough good about this book. Conflict is a normal, sometimes beneficial part of everyday life and practically every relationship. How we deal with it has a huge impact on our lives and everyone around us. The companion DVD series is also outstanding and a great idea for using with a group that wants to start dealing with conflict in a better way. Buy this book, read it, share it, apply it!

This book is the youth version of Peacemaker, by Ken Sande. What I like most about this book is that it gives youth hands on tangable information on how to deal directly with conflict. It gives different senerios for youth with realistic examples, something that might happen in their everyday lives. The information for the most part is solid, easy to read but harder to apply and faith based. (meaning you have to be ready to do something about the conflict in your life) There were just a few things I did not agree with as far as theology, but still feel it is a great book and you will need to read it for yourself. There is an amazing chart/drawing in the first chapter and while you are in conflict you can see exactly where you are on the chart. It breaks down your responsibility in the conflict and how to deal with others you are in the conflict with, you can be Peacebreaker, Peacemaker or Peacefaker. This ministry can be found on the web and has an adult version and a childrens version.
