The five short stories in this booklet describe actual conflicts that were so serious that they threatened to divide churches or result in lawsuits between fellow Christians. These conflicts involved ordinary matters of daily life: problems with an employer, a disagreement over how to educate children, a fight over a parent's estate, the refusal to pay for work done by a fellow church member, and doctrinal differences regarding Sunday school material
