“Great insight.”

“Ann Garrido shares great insight into leading God’s people and facing conflict. She helps us become more self-aware and fosters pastoral sensitivity for those unavoidable times when we encounter discord and tension.”

Most Rev. Gregory M. Aymond
Archbishop of New Orleans

“A wonderful picture.”

“While conflict is inevitable in both our work and personal lives, Garrido paints a wonderful picture of how we can effectively listen, navigate tensions, and live in communion with fellow travelers on this journey in faith.”

Kevin Baxter
Senior Director and Superintendent of Schools
Archdiocese of Los Angeles

“Required reading.”

“Every person in a leadership position—indeed anyone who is employed—should first be required to review this book. Dr. Garrido takes us on a journey of self-reflection through her questions at the end, and throughout each chapter which, if we are honest with ourselves, has the ability to transform the world’s thinking.”

Janice Edwards-Armstrong
Director of Leadership Education
Association of Theological Schools

“A must for anyone engaged in pastoral ministry!”

 “Ann Garrido’s Redeeming Conflict is a must for anyone engaged in pastoral ministry! It is an easy-to-read guide for understanding and even appreciating conflict as a practical way to move forward in relationships between persons and groups. The stories of saints and greats, known and unknown, are particularly interesting and insightful. Garrido’s style is breezy and light, informed and rigorous. This book has the potential to make a great difference in how we, as persons and church, communicate, dialogue, and resolve problems.”
