Compassionate Connecting
describes my intention to facilitate communication and contribute to
deepening relationships between people, within groups and inside
organizations
through the practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) by Marshall
Rosenberg.
The
Way of
Christ through
Nonviolent Communication
The author describes the Way of Christ through Nonviolent Communication
(NVC). The teachings of Jesus exemplify values of love, mutual respect,
responsibility and compassion. This text is a guide showing how NVC
facilitates living in integrity with these values. Many personal
stories demonstrate how a Christ follower can use NVC to turn troubled
relationships into joy-filled connections. This book is an invitation
for the reader to rediscover Christian principles and apply them in
everyday communication--to experience the treasures Jesus taught us by
transforming our relationships with compassionate connecting,
ultimately partaking in the spirit-filled life.
Kirkus Reviews: "
...the
inspired efforts of a Christian helped by NVC who wants to share his
experience with the world and help people better their lives... More
meditation than guidebook, Prieto’s work is compelling, motivating and
useful..."

Everything Must Change:
“'Blessed
are the peacemakers,' Jesus said. The work of peacemaking begins with
each of us learning to communicate compassionately. Jaime Prieto offers
just the kind of practical, down-to-earth guidance we need.”
Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, Center for Action and
Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico:
“What
a marvelous combination of very practical wisdom from Scripture,
psychology, justice work, personal experience, and even the arts! This
is the kind of book that people need today to … get started, to keep
going, and to keep going deeper. Thank you for your own compassion,
Jaime Prieto!”
