I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening): A Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversations
From the publisher: "More than ever, politics seems driven by conflict and anger. People sitting together in pews every Sunday have started to feel like strangers, loved ones at the dinner table like enemies. Toxic political dialogue, hate-filled rants on social media, and agenda-driven news stories have become the new norm. Two working moms from opposite ends of the political spectrum contend that there is a better way. Sarah from the left and Beth from the right invite those looking for something better than the status quo to pull up a chair and listen to the principles, insights, and practical tools they have learned hosting their fast-growing podcast Pantsuit Politics. They believe that we can choose to recognize that issues are nuanced and can’t be reduced to political talking points and choose to listen in order to understand. People from opposing political perspectives truly can have calm, grace-Âfilled conversations with one another—by putting relationship before policy and understanding before argument."
