BUILDING HEALTHY CHURCH RELATIONSHIPS-BOOK REVIEW

RELATIONSHIP KEEPERS

     I first met the author, Kent Pate, over 45 years ago–his faithfulness to his life message has been a consistent trajectory. I was greatly impacted by his message years ago and no less today, through his writing. 

    This book truly challenges us in one of the most complex and often conflict-riddled arenas–the church. This microcosm, i.e. the church,  is a high-stakes grouping. How we collectively deal with conflicts in this relationship has the potential to create interest leading to a deeply meaningful, synergistic relationship with others through our relationship with Christ and his teachings. Conversely, non-constructive, unmanaged, or unresolved conflict can create disappointment leading to cynicism and distance.

    The scriptures are abundant and now Kent gives sound strategies and skills learned through his life experiences navigating as a church leader. His practical guidance backed by scripture and sound research shows a way through conflict–a worthwhile journey that gives an opportunity for growth, restoration, and reconciliation.
