My Brother's Keeper (Ebook)

Order this book

"My Brother’s Keeper" is a collection of letters written by the pastor and theologian James Waddel Alexander to his younger brother, with the purpose of guiding him in his Christian walk, moral formation, and faithfulness to the Lord. This book is not only a historical treasure from the Reformed tradition but also a powerful resource for parents, mentors, and leaders who desire to help young people grow in wisdom, the fear of God, and Christian service.

Written in a warm, personal, and deeply biblical tone, these letters go beyond simple practical advice; they are reflections filled with devotion, pastoral experience, and a heart that loves God and longs to see others walking in His ways.

Alexander addresses key topics such as:

• The duty of loving and following Christ from one’s youth.
• The importance of daily Bible reading.
• How to cultivate godly friendships and avoid harmful influences.
• Respect and gratitude toward parents.
• Moral responsibility before God.
• And how to live with integrity amid the common temptations of youth.

As noted by several contemporary pastors and theologians—including Joel Beeke and Tom Ascol—this book remains deeply relevant today. Although certain aspects may seem outdated due to its historical context, the moral and spiritual principles it conveys are timeless.

This book is not only helpful for teenagers or young people interested in serving the Lord, but also a valuable tool for those who have the privilege and responsibility of guiding others in the path of faith. It is a clear example of how spiritual care among brothers can be a lasting blessing for a lifetime.

"My Brother’s Keeper" is ideal for both personal study and spiritual mentorship, and can easily be used in youth discipleship programs or as a resource for family Bible teaching.
