“Believers are to be known not only for their uncompromising stand for the truth of Scripture but also for their unwavering love for one another–even when they disagree.” — Alexander Strauch in If You Bite & Devour One Another Conflict in churches is a pervasive problem we know all too well. (Not to mention every other area of our lives!) We all spend a lifetime facing disagreements, controversies and relationship battles. If You Bite & Devour One Another is a unique study, examining all the biblical passages on conflict and outlining key scriptural principles for handling various kinds of conflicts among Christians–whether personal disputes, issues of Christian liberty in lifestyles, congregational matters, or disagreements about important doctrines. As in his other books, Alexander Strauch’s thorough Bible exposition and practical illustrations and true-to-life stories make this a readable, challenging and important study. Endorsements "This book is urgently needed in the body of Christ…. There is so much of this [conflict] among us…. I have put Bite & Devour into the top ten books that we are getting out across the world. It’s a must read.” – George Verwer, Founder, Operation Mobilization “[If You Bite & Devour One Another is] readable, biblical, devotional, and practical for ministry—all things a busy pastor values.
