What if at least 12% of the population practiced the kind of dialogue described in this book? Read this book to discover ways this challenge can become a reality. 
When we listen for what is meant and respond empathetically to what we hear – when we ask questions to clarify and draw out the thinking of others – when we resist being defensive – when we acknowledge that on which we disagree but seek to find that on which we do agree – when we are not trying to persuade but discover – and when we find ourselves changing our views or positions in light of what we are discovering — we are in a transformational dialogue environment.

In his latest book, Irving Stubbs explores many good reasons to use dialogue.

• It is a way to stretch our levels of consciousness.
• It strengthens the courage to speak and share.
• It bonds participants as persons, not as objects.
• It creates bridges to deal with organizational and societal issues.
• It builds communities of mutual trust and interests.
• It builds solutions to challenging issues.
• It opens us to God’s Spirit.
• It energizes worldviews based on shalom that includes peace, harmony, wholeness, justice and joy.
