COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado. (May 6, 2024) – Loving Disagreement by Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos was one of two Christian Book Award® winners in the Faith & Culture category named by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association.
“I am fiercely proud of this book and of Kathy and Matt’s commitment to not just writing the message but living it,” said Caitlyn Carlson, NavPress senior editor. “It’s a call to step into the tensions of our world and wrestle with what it really looks like to love, to be gentle, and to live faithfully.”
Previously named book of the year by the Englewood Review of Books, Loving Disagreement considers how the fruit of the Spirit helps Christians engage in conflict more constructively and redemptively. Rather than civility, the authors contend, Christian virtues such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and more lead to better engagement and resolution of disagreement.
“Matt and Kathy worked really hard to craft a book that delivers on such an audacious promise,” said NavPress publisher David Zimmerman. “We’re grateful for the recognition from our industry of the significance of their work.”
