Drawing on Doctrine and Covenants 136:23, Pahoran's example in the Book of Mormon, and George Washington's farewell address, licensed counselor Rodney Dieser offers a three-step, faith-based approach to lowering political and social contention. Readers learn to identify and reframe six cognitive distortions, develop eight listening skills, and build media literacy to become informed citizens. Blending cognitive behavioral therapy, history, and prophetic counsel from Presidents Nelson and Oaks, this timely book helps Latter-day Saints engage civilly across political divides.
- A licensed LDS mental health counselor turns CBT into a step-by-step cure for political contention at your dinner table.
- Answers President Oaks's call to 'seek to modify and to unify' with concrete, teachable skills.
- Pahoran vs. Moroni: what an unjust accusation in the Book of Mormon teaches us about civility today.
- Foreword by Judge Thomas B. Griffith, appointee to the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court.
“We have been commanded to cease to contend.”
Perfect for a thoughtful Latter-day Saint adult distressed by political polarization who wants faith-based, practical tools to engage civilly with family, ward members, and neighbors who vote differently.
