We can define the word conflict in different ways. But the word can simply mean the 'fight or an argument that may lead to disagreement' between two people or groups of people over an issue. There are many causes of conflict and we will learn about some in this book. It is also true that this book is not the exhausted manual on conflict resolution. This statement means we are not going to learn all causes of conflict in every area in this little book. Did you know that there can be a conflict between you and yourself? There are two warring persons in you; the sinful nature and the new nature. The two persons in you cannot do the same things together because they are normally in conflict with each other.
