The Conflict Resolution Toolbox: Models and Maps for Analyzing, Diagnosing, and Resolving Conflict , by Gary T. Furlong, is free for UK Kindle customers, both in the US and UK Kindle stores (UK link). This is another Wiley title (and with a list price $60.00, according to the product page, although it's selling for $41.21 to US customers), so either someone is still getting the hang of listing books in the Kindle store, or Wiley just likes giving these away.

Book Description
In real-life conflict resolution situations, one size does not fit all. Just as a mechanic does not fix every car with the same tool, the conflict resolution practitioner cannot hope to resolve every dispute using the same technique.

Practitioners need to be comfortable with a wide variety of tools to diagnose different problems, in vastly different circumstances, with different people, and resolve these conflicts effectively. The Conflict Resolution Toolbox gives you all the tools you need: eight different models for dealing with the many conflict situations you encounter in your practice.

This book bridges the gap between theory and practice and goes beyond just one single model to present a complete toolbox - a range of models that can be used to analyze, diagnose, and resolve conflict in any situation. It shows mediators, negotiators, managers, and anyone needing to resolve conflict how to simply and effectively understand and assess the situations of conflict they face. And it goes a step further, offering specific, practical guidance on how to intervene to resolve the conflict successfully.

When Christians Get It Wrong, by Adam Hamilton, is currently priced at 99 cents in the Kindle store. Christian publisher Abingdon Press tried to get it listed for free, but ran into time constraints with Amazon and 99 cents was the lowest they could get it.

Book Description
More and more young adults have opted out of Christianity and the church. The reason? Christians.

When young adults talk about the problems they have with Christianity and the church, they often name certain attitudes and behaviors they believe are practiced too often by Christians: judging others, condemning people of other faiths, rejecting science, injecting politics into faith, and being anti-homosexual. With his familiar style, Adam Hamilton tackles these issues and addresses the how's and why's of Christians getting it right when it comes to being Christ in the world.

Those who read When Christians Get It Wrong will gain a different way of understanding the issues that keep people away from Christianity and keep Christians from living a more compelling faith. Because, honestly, if we don't start getting it right, we may lose an entire generation.

I've also posted a number of mysteries on my blog today and a more varied bargain selection yesterday that range from 1.25 to 4.99.
