Slaying Conflict, Healing Souls
Are We There Yet?
 Five Steps to Real Peace Now
A fable that gives help, hope, and healing
Silence is not golden when you are in conflict, and how can you find understanding and healing in the midst of pain?
 
Slaying Conflict, Healing Souls takes you for a ride through a jungle of high-stakes drama with Pastor John, Buddy the dog, Fluffy the cat, and Wise-owl.  The animals quarrel.
Leaving Securatown to see John’s dying father in Everland, they encounter church disputes, family feud, racist riot, forest fire, union strike, cow council clashes, death and rebirth.
Along the journey, they gain insight into the heart of conflict, effective tools to repair relationships, and a chance to turn conflict into collaboration, brokenness into wholeness, and pain into everlasting peace.
Humorous, engaging, and soul searching, each Act in this journey addresses one aspect of conflict resolution---defining, responding, triaging, decoding, managing, and transforming conflict.
Written for children and adults, pastors in particular, the story takes about one hour to read, but its unique impact and inspiration can last a lifetime.
