CLEARWATER, Fla., Nov. 24, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- This holiday season, a newly released book, "The Favorite," is the perfect gift to inspire an important conversation amongst today's families. Inspired by true life events, it's a story about Benjamin Bernard, a young man who has a seemingly typical sibling rivalry with his younger brother Luke, who is the college all‐star, all‐around athlete, all American boy. It appears to Benjamin, Luke is the 'Favorite,' especially with their Dad. Benjamin vents his anger and his frustrations by becoming an MMA fighter…and a good one!

In the book, the brothers get into a tragic car accident that leaves the all‐star with a traumatic brain injury and his brother filled with guilt.

Over the course of reading the book, and seeing the upcoming movie, sibling favoritism, college soccer, MMA fighting, parent‐child relationships and renewed faith are themes that are brought to the forefront.

David Yates, Producer of the "Dolphin Tale" movies shares, "The Favorite" weaves together the familiar themes of family, tragedy, and redemption in a compelling and captivating way. Inspired by real life events, Luke's story will hit home for all."

To accompany the movie, the family has developed a prayer booklet and study guide.
