For Christians attempting to live godly lives, the relationships that we have with one another can easily become a source of confusion and frustration. We want to live in peace and love with one another. Why is it, then, that we can often find as much strife, anger, bitterness, and division in our Christian relationships as we can outside of the Church? Perhaps the problem is that we are approaching our relationships in Christ with the same carnal presumptions as the rest of this world. Society tells us that it is not only our right but our responsibility to look out for ourselves and to protect our own interests. But when everyone has made their own lives their top priority, is it any wonder that so many relationships within the Church are riddled with conflict, stress, and scars? More importantly, does this perspective of self-preservation line up with what God teaches us in His Word? Maybe it is time for us to reassess what it means to be a member of the Body of Christ by asking ourselves a few simple questions: How did God design my relationships to function? What is the root cause of my conflicts? How responsible am I for the lives of my brothers and sisters? What can I do today to live in peace and unity with others? Am I, in fact, my brother' keeper? This book delves into all of these questions and more in a Biblical examination of how we, as believers, are designed to work, live, and relate with one another; and it will provide you with a series of practical guidelines that willempower you to relate toyour brothers and sisters in Christ in the way that God intended."
