God Calling

by A. J. Russell

“It's not something you read in one go, it comprises passages and scripture to reflect on for different days.

The Triangle of Truth: The Surprisingly Simple Secret to Resolving Conflicts Large and Small

by Lisa Earle McLeod
- Rated 5 stars
“Good read, helps one to develop an open mind. A method to reduce stress and conflict and be at peace.

Read it at your own pace, practice it.

Basic skills of thorough listening are quite absent with the amount of information passing through our hands and brains. Hence the friction in meetings and stress in arriving at satisfactory-to-all outcomes. ”
