About this ebook
Brings to life the seven elements of how to have deep and fulfilling interactions so that people can connect in a world with many conversational obstacles.
Conversation is the way human beings connect. Great friendships are defined by the way one speaks, listens, and flows through the joy of effortless conversation. As the divisions in culture deepen due to politics, generational misunderstanding, the complexity of gender, the struggle to be politically correct, and every other possible human condition, conversation is becoming more and more dangerous. Most people feel an ever-increasing need to be careful with their words. It may be good to be thoughtful of language, but this is a new kind of carefulness. The anxiety of culture is leading people to communicate less and that leads to isolation and divisiveness.
Healing Conversations is a simple way to revolutionize communication. It offers practical help to allow readers to talk their way out of conflict and loneliness. Within Healing Conversations, Dave Roberts helps readers to learn, gain perspective, grow, accomplish real work, come together for a greater good, but even more, helps them to feel intimately connected to the people around them again through the power of conversation.
“Roberts, lead pastor of Montrose Church in Montrose, Calif., explores in this insightful . . . debut a type of conversation called relational talking, which is characterized by the goals of hospitality, openness, and an eagerness to understand others.” —Publishers Weekly
“Profound and practical! Healing Conversations is a chance to learn how to invite people to share their truest selves with us without our self-focused agendas and any need to be right.” —Debbie Payne, Producer, Director Cumulus Media
