The Art Of Friendship

In this age of limitless digital connections, we are somehow lonelier than ever. This isn't just bad news--it's dangerous news. Loneliness puts us at greater health risk than smoking or obesity, but we would sooner label ourselves overweight than admit we are lonely. It is a secret that is killing us.

Contrary to all our efforts, the answer is not found in more connections, but deeper ones that mirror God himself as the originator of friendship and the original Friend. The Art of Friendship walks with you into a greater understanding of how God has equipped you to be a friend and to have meaningful friendships. With step-by-step guidance, you will begin to strategize how to fulfill your divine calling as a friend. And through God's Word, as you come to understand the depth and width and breadth of God as Friend, you will discover that the spiritual discipline of friendship is both life-changing and life-giving.

My Rating: 4 Stars
This is a fantastic read. It has a lot of "meat" and things to chew on within it's pages. It's a relatively short book for all that it packs in between its covers. Kim is very good at explaining the ways she breaks down the behind the scenes stuff of making, being and keeping friendship going in day to day life. Interspersed with real life anecdotes from Kim's own experiences, this book lays it all out there of how to be a friend the way Jesus is a friend to us and how he desires for us to have these types of friendship while on Earth. Very compelling read and one I will refer back to again and again.

I received this book from the publisher and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my honest opinion.
