Synopsis

Brothers and sisters are among the most important people in life. The emphasis of this book is not merely "getting along" but being best friends.

Problems are a normal part of life. Therefore, it is not surprising that you have struggles with your brothers and sisters. Your response will determine whether you will be defeated by these problems or overcome them. Victorious warriors are not defeated or discouraged by difficulties. Rather, they see them as a challenge. Our goal in this book is to share with you how you can fight the good fight by responding to family struggles in the right way. You may ask, “But why is it so hard in my own family?” Have you ever believed any of these things? “My brother or sister is a problem in my life.” “If I didn't have a brother/sister, think how much easier my life would be.” “Things are hopeless in our relationship.” “The problem is their fault, not mine.” “We get along as well as anybody else. I don't need to worry about this.” “I'm just normal.” “It's too late to do anything about our relationship now.” These are lies that must be recognized, rejected, and replaced with truth. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds:) Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” ( Cor. 10:3-5)
