Description

A book blessedly short enough to read before your next hard conversation.”” — Philip G. Ryken, President, Wheaton College

In this insightful and practical book, Gavin Ortlund turns to Scripture to explore how we can navigate disagreements in a way that fosters understanding, peace, and love—offering the world a reflection of Jesus in the process.

In a time when society is struggling to disagree well, this book is more necessary than ever. Whether the conversation is about politics, religion, culture, or everyday matters, people often approach disagreements with rigid intensity—either determined to win or eager to avoid the discussion altogether.

Drawing from Jesus’ example of both courage and kindness, Ortlund provides a framework for handling difficult conversations with a love that strengthens rather than damages relationships.

No matter if your instinct is to argue or withdraw, this book will help you stay calm and maintain friendships—even when you don’t see eye to eye.”
