Can brothers and sisters really be best friends? Yes. Co-written by real-life siblings Sarah, Stephen and Grace (ages 22, 16, 12) and illustrated by their cartoonist dad, this lighthearted volume offers perceptive insights and practical tips on how kids in the same family can forge lifelong supportive relationships as God intended.
get along pretty well with my brother and sister (most of the time). When my mom asked if I would like to read this book, I hesitated. A few fights between brothers and sisters are common, aren’t they? Well, I opened the book and began to read. I learned that fights are common but shouldn’t be accepted, because there are definite ways kids can work together to create a happier home. The brother/sisters trio of authors offers biblical truths, humorous stories, self-evaluations to help identify problems, and creative solutions that have worked for them. Their dad illustrated the book with hilarious cartoons. My favorite one depicts the way their family found "immediate harmony" on long car rides by building iron bars to separate the two children in the back seat!
Applying the important principles clearly covered in this book can help replace constant arguing with peaceful friendships among siblings and bring us closer to a “home sweet home.” 271 pages, softcover from Tomorrow’s Forefathers.

I am reading this to my kids for devotions. We have had many great discussions and I am seeing their attitudes improving. This has been a blessing to our family.

This is a wonderful book. The kids love the illustrations, there are many parts where we were all laughing our heads off. I think this can help any family work at getting along better.

I am still reading this book, but have found so much useful already in helping the families I am working with. There are great word pictures to help you understand, and think differently, or see how someone else thinks.

I just started reading this book to my daughters (10 and 8 yrs. old) and they are loving it. We have had very good conversations about the chapters and good discussion. As I am typing this my older daughter is reading to her sister. That is a good thing. It rarely happens around here. I highly recommend it.
