Short Synopsis
With a personal touch and the trained eye of a social psychologist, Christena Cleveland brings to bear the latest studies and research on the unseen dynamics at work that tend to separate us from others.

Full Synopsis
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 we are so often victims of groupthink and how we can avoid it

● 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.
