Winner of a 2013 Leadership Journal Book Award ("Our Very Short
List" in "The Leader's Outer Life" category) Despite Jesus' prayer
that all Christians "be one," divisions have been epidemic in the
body of Christ from the beginning to the present. We cluster in
theological groups, gender groups, age groups, ethnic groups,
educational and economic groups. We criticize freely those who
disagree with us, don't look like us, don't act like us and don't
even like what we like. Though we may think we know why this
happens, Christena Cleveland says we probably don't. In this
eye-opening book, learn the hidden reasons behind conflict and
divisions. Learn: Why I think all my friends are unique but those
in other groups are all the same Why little differences often
become big sources of conflict Why categorizing others is often
automatic and helpful but can also have sinister side effects Why
we are so often victims of groupthink and how we can avoid it Why
women think men are judging them more negatively than men actually
are, and vice versa Why choices of language can actually affect
unity With a personal touch and the trained eye of a social
psychologist, Cleveland brings to bear the latest studies and
research on the unseen dynamics at work that tend to separate us
from others. Learn why Christians who have a heart for unity have
such a hard time actually uniting. The author provides real insight
for ministry leaders who have attempted to build bridges across
boundaries. Here are the tools we need to understand how we can
overcome the hidden forces that divide us.
