I Can't Talk With Some Friends and Family About Trump or Jesus, But I Want To Robert L Flaherty

Have you ever felt like you cannot talk with a friend or family member about religion or politics? This short book which falls into two parts as indicated by the title, I Can't Talk With Some Friends and Family About Trump or Jesus, But I Want To, is for you. In the first part, Flaherty points out that it is the nature of the conversation that causes it to be difficult and in most cases less than satisfying. He concludes that in most difficult, uncomfortable, and awkward conversations about religion and politics, the best outcome to expect is that you have created an opportunity to hear another and to be heard. In the second part, Flaherty puts you in charge. You can choose what conversations you want to be a part of. He offers suggestions for developing practical strategies and skills that you can use in the conversations you choose to engage in.
