By Dr. Quentin Schultze and Dr. Diane Badzinksi
In an Essential Guide to Interpersonal Communication, Building Great Relationships with Faith, Skill, and Virtue in the Age of Social Media (due out at the end of August), leading Christian communication scholars Quentin Schultze and Diane Badzinski offer a solid Christian perspective on the topic, helping readers communicate with faith, skill, and virtue in their interpersonal relationships.
Designed as a companion to Schultze’s successful An Essential Guide to Public Speaking, this inviting book provides biblical wisdom on critical areas of interpersonal communication: gratitude, listening, self-assessment, forgiveness, trust, encouragement, peace, and fidelity. Given the rapid rise and widespread use of social media, the book also integrates intriguing insights from the latest research on the influence of social media on interpersonal relationships. It includes engaging stories and numerous sidebars featuring practical lists, definitions, illustrations, and biblical insights.
