Do you consider yourself a good friend? Do you find it easy to make friends? Do you struggle with transitioning your friendships from superficial to deep? Would your friends see Christ reflected in your treatment of them?
This straightforward, short book helps us consider what true friendship is, to evaluate our friendships and to make us better friends to those around us. The six chapters look at true friendship being crucial, close, constant, candid, careful and Christ-centered. We are created by God to need friendship but, sadly, loneliness is widespread, even in the church. We can be the solution to this problem if we learn to reflect Christ in our friendships and in doing so offer the deep, quality relationship to others that we all need.
