Sibling Rivalry in the Household of God [Paperback]

Jay Edward Adams (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1988

Many of us have experienced sibling rivalry: poking, pushing, hurtful words that sting. Whether between children or adults, sibling rivalry is perhaps the worst kind of contention, and tends to be more dangerous, more vicious, and longer lasting than most. Unfortunately, what is true in our families is also true in the church. This book is about the causes and effects of rivalry among brothers and sisters in Christ—and what can be done about it. It is the Christian's duty to prevent such divisions in the family of God. When such divisions do occur, however, it is also the duty of Christians to turn possible disasters into God-glorifying victories. Every Christian needs to read and learn from the pages of this book. It may even revolutionize your church—and you.

About the Author

For over forty years Dr. Jay Adams has been calling God’s people back from their dalliance with unbiblical psychological theory to a renewed confidence in the power of the Holy Spirit and the sufficiency of God’s Word to equip the man of God to help his people with problems of living and relationship. At approximately age fifteen he was born again in response to the reading of a New Testament that was given to him by a friend. He received his formal training at Reformed Episcopal Seminary (B.D.), Johns Hopkins University (A.B.), Pittsburgh-Xenia Seminary, Temple University School of Theology (M.ST.), and the University of Missouri (Ph.D.). He pastored churches in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, served as a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary, and as the director of the Doctoral program at Westminster Theological Seminary in California. He is also the founder of the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation in Philadelphia and the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors.
