Synopsis

We’re not good at living with tension. It’s uncomfortable. It feels unsafe. The moment a friend, spouse, business, or political movement disagrees with us, we flee to the safety of like-minded thinkers, and dehumanize and attack anyone who thinks differently. No one wins. And if someone dares question our particular stance, we demonize them.

This is killing us―families, friendships, civility, and discourse. It kills our chance to hear and be heard.

We must reject the notion that the path of truth forks away from the path of love. We must step out of our bunkers and step into no-man’s-land to find the way that leads to both. Thankfully, we have help. Captivating examples and timeless principles burst forth from the pages of history and Scripture. No one did this better than Jesus.

Our fractured world desperately needs people to speak gently, affirm truth, and think clearly. We need people, for the love of God, to be willing to step into the tension. Dancing in No Man’s Land calls Christians to the higher challenge of stepping into the middle of the war, offering peace and truth in a culture that wants us to take a side.

Goodreads review by Steven

I endorse this book for people who want to move past vitriol to peaceful cooperation, while not sacrificing truth. In Dancing In No Man’s Land, Brian Jennings has written a book which is prophetic for our time, a time when people are lining up in warring camps, and bombarding one another with verbal......more

Divide and conquer. Us vs. “them”. It’s a tactic that has worked since the beginning of war; label the enemy and attack. Anyone with social media, a radio, or a television can clearly see that there is a war going on. Everyone is right, everyone needs to prove how right they are, and we all suffer. Da......more

Goodreads review by Julie

This book was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Important and critical issues have arisen in our culture that I didn’t become aware of or passionate about until relatively recent years. I’ve stumbled through trying to get clarity and form my own opinions on these topics, but sadly I’ve dug my own......more

Goodreads review by Lindsey

The book speaks of how conflict can affect relationships at every level: families, co-workers, friends; plus, how to best speak truth and peace to others and stay out of bunkers where we hurl insults against people who differ from us. I should probably have taken notes while reading, but if/when I d......more
