Product Description
Brothers and sisters are among the most important people in life, yet often they are also the most trouble. My brother, sister, and I have become concerned as we have observed the way many siblings fight, argue, and miss out on the close relationship that God intends for them to have. The problem is not just the surface battles, but the underlying attitudes, wrong concepts, and offenses. Many broken relationships never get fixed. Few enjoy the special life-long treasure that God intended. Our emphasis in this book is not merely "getting along" with your brothers and sisters, but making them your best friends. Since every chapter of the book has a section written by each of us, the book has three perspectives and three personalities. It includes many personal stories and insights about how we have learned to become best friends.

 Wonderful to use for devotional time December 26, 2008
I ordered this book thinking it would give ME some great parenting tips, but it has been invaluable to use during devotional time with the kids. It was written by kids, and our children really can relate to the way this is written and presented. Great!
Not just for brothers and sisters...(A mother's review) October 11, 2008

It is rare that I find a book that I keep going back to again and again, but Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends is one of those books! It was so well written, entertaining, encouraging, challenging, and full of great practical advice. My children and I have been gleaning nuggets of wisdom from the Malleys for years.
What makes this book so terrific, is that each chapter is applicable to every relationship, not just the sibling relationship. In every chapter find myself thinking of ways I can apply the Malley's advice in my own life. There are sections on sensitivity, humility, praise, forgiveness plus lots more. My favorite chapter addressed why it's important to pursue positive and Godly relationships even if the effort is completely one-sided. Each chapter is broken down into several sections. Each sibling writes a section from his/her own perspective, then there is a bible story used to illustrate the point and a self-assessment quiz.
Do yourself and your family a favor and buy this book!

This book was really fun to read. The 16 yr old boy was really funny. It really made me think about the future. I mean, I'm not getting rid of my 3 brothers any time soon, so I probably need to learn how to deal with them. It might be helpful if we can live together for the next 5 yrs at least without always biting each others' heads off.
If you have more than one child, you need this book! March 30, 2007

If you are a Christian family, especially, with more than one child, you need this book! My kids are loving this one. I read it aloud to them and they never want me to stop. The book is written by the children, for the children, so it speaks to them in a way that I can't. Excellent information, well worth the money - good buy!
