Sheep in Wolves' Clothing : How Unseen Need Destroys
Friendship and Community and What to Do About It
Valerie J. McIntyre / Paperback / Published 1999
Our Price: $8.79 ~ You Save: $2.20 (20%)
Many pastors have relinquished their hope for true relationships in their
congregations, instead just settling for surviving. Some pastors expect their churches to
be embroiled in petty controversies or vicious conflicts. Others have left the ministry.
Many disputes that divide churches are related to the unrecognized dynamics of
transference, the confusing effect of a person transferring unresolved memories and
feelings from the past to someone in the present. When this dynamic goes unrecognized,
everyone suffers, and especially those doing the transferring - the sheep in wolves'
clothing.
Surviving
Church Conflict
Dave Peters / Paperback / Published 1997

Peacemaking is never passive. It is an aggressive movement in the church designed to
produce holy character and destroy spiritual darkness, which hurts everyone in the
congregation. According to author Dave Peters, peacemakers need to be spiritually fit,
with a holy lifestyle, at peace with God. This book calls would-be peacemakers to allow
themselves to be spiritually broken before God. Only thus can they discover the will of
God and live in it peaceably.
