Critics Review
“The Space Between Us is an invaluable book. Betty Pries uses her keen intellect, contemplative heart, and years of mediating personal and organizational conflict to guide us into the knowledge and practices that can lead us to peace with ourselves and with the people whose lives intersect our own. She invites us onto a challenging path, which holds the risk of our becoming humbler, wiser, more generous, and more gracious.”—-REBECCA SLOUGH, academic dean and professor of worship and the arts emerita at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary
“The Space Between Us offers readers a rich well of practical wisdom about what it means to be human and how to flourish in a world full of pain and conflict. Betty Pries shows us how conflict can be an opportunity for the growth of both individuals and communities. This book is especially important for churches, as it invites us to live more fully into the vibrant, relational life of the Trinity, for which we were created.”—-C. CHRISTOPHER SMITH, author of How the Body of Christ Talks: Recovering the Practice of Conversation in the Church
“In The Space Between Us, Betty Pries offers sound conflict management principles and takes the reader much deeper. We are guided toward wisdom so needed in our world today–the ability to manage our defenses and differences in order to see and embrace the common humanity of our belovedness. Her work provides a path to greater hope for healing the self and to greater joy for a human community seeking reconciliation.”—-DAVID BOSHART, president of Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary
