People Skills

About this book

How good are your people skills? Can you say the right thing at the right time? Do you know when to offer a helping hand or listening ear, and when to leave people in peace? And what about the more difficult situations in life when you need to challenge or rebuke—or bite your tongue, even though you are aching to speak out? Sometimes we can think that people skills are just for the résumé or the office, not for everyday life. But as Jeff Lucas reminds us, we need them every day, and the example of Jesus can show us how to improve them. Jesus was a people magnet, and yet He was not afraid to challenge and confront, as well as comfort. So what can He teach us about living and relating well with other people? What do we need to do, or not do, in order to genuinely care for others, and to reflect the care of the One who made us? In his own inimitable style, Jeff Lucas takes us to Jesus' Masterclass in People Skills Level 1. Work hard, and it will benefit you and those around you—both now and in the future. Bible Daily notes are written by Jeff Lucas to help you apply the lessons of God's Word daily. Each day and with each devotion, Jeff uses his signature wit and wisdom to reveal insights and practical application you can use in your own life. Each Bible devotion takes only a few minutes to read, but the lessons learned can last a lifetime.
