Editorial Reviews

The down-home voice of narrator Maurice England is a suitable match for the down-home writing style of authors Ken Sande and Kevin Johnson. Their book is written as a self-help book for Christians who are interested in working through conflicts at home, in the workplace, and wherever else they come up. England reads in a simple and easy-to-follow style that keeps the listener’s interest. The authors use principles gleaned from scripture to lay out the premise that conflict originates from sin and is fundamentally a spiritual problem. Each chapter begins with a real-life illustration and then moves to a suggestion for approaching an everyday conflict. S.K.G. 2012 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
