I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening)

A Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversations

By: Sarah Stewart Holland, Beth A. Silvers

Narrated by: Beth Silvers, Sarah Holland

More than ever, politics seem to be driven by discord. People sitting together in pews every Sunday feel like strangers and loved ones at the dinner table feel like enemies. Toxic political dialogue, hate-filled rants on social media, and agenda-driven news stories have become the new norm. But it doesn't have to be this way.

In I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening), two working moms from opposite ends of the political spectrum teach us that politics don't have to divide us. Instead, we can bring the same care and respect to policy discussions that we bring to the rest of our lives.

Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, co-hosts of Pantsuit Politics, recently named an Apple Podcasts Show of the Year, give you all of the tools you need to:

• Respect the dignity of every person
• Recognize that issues are nuanced and can't be reduced to political talking points
• Listen in order to understand
• Lead with grace and patience

Join Sarah from the left and Beth from the right as they teach you that people from opposing political perspectives truly can have calm, grace-­filled conversations with one another.

Praise for I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening):

"Sarah and Beth are an absolute gift to our culture right now. Not only do they offer balanced perspectives from each political ideology, but they teach us how to dialogue well, without sacri­ficing our humanity."

--Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author and speaker

"Sarah from the left and Beth from the right serve as our guides through conflict and complexity, delivering us into connection. I wish every person living in the United States would read this compelling book, from the youngest voter to those holding the highest office."

Essential

Essential reading for those who want to have real dialogue and grow in their willingness to see complexity.

Helpful book for today’s times

This book is essential reading/listening for anyone who is interested in moving beyond today’s toxic political discourse and into a more productive, human-centered conversation. Beth and Sarah wonderfully walk the reader through action-based steps on expanding one’s world view, listening first, and having more productive conversations. I highly recommend this book for those readers of faith and those who do not have a faith background.

Should be required reading!!!

I picked up this book as part of a 2-for-1 sale not sure what to expect but excited to hear how two
women were exploring political conversations without criticism.. All I can say is THANK GOD they wrote this! My family is divided politically (and my in laws as well) and my husband and I play the middle/ practical referees asking love ones if they’ve read the opposing views or stopped to consider the alternatives. This book is not about agreeing with the points discussed in here - it’s about graciously listening and taking into account other people’s opinions.

I’ve already recommended this book to several people (even before o finished it) and plan to recommend it to many more.

Thank you thank you thank you for your thoughtful, graceful discussions and I look forward to remaining part of the conversation going forward.

Nuance and grace - what the doctor ordered

I’m an avid Pantsuit Politics listener and was curious about Sarah and Beth’s book. It was amazing! It was just like their show primers but instead of 5, if was like 5,000 things you need to know about being a decent human. Looking forward to their next book.

Heartwarming and actionable

I love Beth and Sarah’s message. They have the unique ability to make complicated subjects extremely simple. I come away from reading this book with actionable items and new insights. Highly recommend!
