LifeandLeadership.com Summary
Augsburger coins the phrase “care-fronting” to help believers deal truthfully with one another through valuing both principle and relationship, owning anger, inviting change, giving trust, ending blame, letting go of prejudices, and making peace.
From the Publisher
Discussing trust, anger, change, prejudice, blame, guilt, loyalty and conscience, the author describes a life-style for Christians who care enough to risk confronting others when differences become important. Especially for Christians who care deeply about relationships—adults, youth, pastors, couples.
