Synopsis "Thriving in the Fire: Coaching Through the Conflicts of Change (in English)"
Fire is an appropriate metaphor for conflict. Like fire, conflict begins small. If left alone, it can grow to disastrous proportions. If managed, properly, like fire, conflict can help us develop stronger bonds. Fire is also a great metaphor for change. As the old gospel song goes, "It only takes a spark to get a fire going." When change begins, it can spark new paths for growth and ministry. We often tend to shy away from conflict and resist change. What would happen, if instead of running away from the fire, we were to learn to thrive in it? How would our lives be enhanced if we were to embrace change and its natural sibling, conflict, when they surface? This book guides you through understanding change and conflict and will offer a new perspective about in how anyone can thrive in the fire!
