A Church Learns to Get Along is the story of a local church congregation that discovered practical, biblical principles that transformed their individual lives, their marriages and families-and their church. Corporately and individually they found God at work in the areas of speaking the truth in love, transparency, sharing one another's burdens, and more. The result brought them into a new freedom and openness with one another. To the surprise of this pastoral couple, they found their counseling load decrease, and even more amazing, gossip was virtually eliminated from their flock. Christ's prayer in John 17 emphasizes the unity He expects and desires in His Church. Nevertheless, the whole area of loving honest relationships proves to be a difficult calling. The tendency is to tolerate problems in each other's lives in order to avoid personal involvement and possible hurts. Yet the call to unity remains. Partners in life and in ministry, authors Pete and Bev Caruso demonstrate the Christ-life in their relationships with their three children, many grand- and great-grandchildren, and with those they have pastored and discipled into fruitfulness. In A Church Learns to Get Along, the Carusos bring Christ's teaching to life through firsthand accounts of Biblical principles being applied in everyday situations. Through true stories you will see how Christ can work in your life through acceptance, forgiveness, affirming, as well as by learning to lovingly confront one another. Pete and Bev pioneered and pastored two churches, established a Christian school, and helped start four other churches. They have ministered in over 40 countries, speaking in churches of many denominations, universities, prisons, Youth With A Mission, Christ for the Nations, FGBMFI, Aglow, Teen Challenge, and more. Pete and Bev believe God has equipped them to inspire and help this generation to reconcile the lost to God, and to bring restoration within families and groups of believers. Both Pete and Bev speak locally and internationally. Their messages come from their study of the Scriptures and their life experiences. Pete loves to present Biblical truths, then inspire folks to apply the Word to their own lives. Bev shares candidly from the heart of a true shepherdess, offering insight, comfort and encouragement. Pete is often sought out for mentoring by other ministers. One wrote, "Your life has been a model of integrity, compassion and love for others. I often find myself drawing from lessons I've learned from your example." Bev's writing includes several books plus articles in Discipleship Journal, The Christian Communicator, Ministries Today, and others. John Bills, former West Coast (USA) Director, Youth With A Mission, wrote, "You have shown faithfulness to God in all He has called you to do. I appreciate your passionate hearts to touch the lives of God's people who are hurting and the ministry of restoration and renewal to the weary." Eric Olson said, "Some people really stand out. You have made a permanent imprint on my mind and spirit because of the way you uniquely portray the Lord by the way you reflect Him in your actions and life," A student in Italy, Carina wrote, "It is rare to see couples who love one another like you. Your happiness, your peace, and love are examples to me,"
