The Friendships of Women: The Beauty and Power of God's Plan for Us (Dee Brestin's Series)

Product Description

In the midst of deadlines, car pools, and breakfast dishes, it can be tempting to push aside your longing for intimate friendships. Why add something else to your schedule-and be hurt or disappointed again? Yet it seems that even in the busyness and struggles of life, we cannot ignore our ache to know kindred spirits.

In The Friendships of Women, Dee Brestin encourages you to listen to your need for friendships and to find and strengthen those relationships. Relying on key biblical stories, Dee explores what the story of Ruth teaches us about "rapport talk," how Luke celebrates the power of women's intuition, and what we can learn about avoiding unhealthy dependency from one of the most significant friendships in the Old Testament.

With a passion borne from an intense belief in the power of friendship, Dee guides your relationships to new levels of intimacy and trust. Engaging, honest, and deeply personal, The Friendships of Women will inspire you to see your desire for friendship not as a burden but as a gift.

    This review is from: The Friendships of Women: The Beauty and Power of God's Plan for Us (Dee Brestin's Series) (Paperback)
    I bought this book as part of a women's group study. The book touches on the differences between the friendships of men and those of women, homosexuality, "best" friends, seasonal friends, greeting and parting scenes with friends, hurt in friendships, mean girls, vulnerability, loyalty, mentoring, and friendships in the bible of Mary & Elizabeth, Ruth & Naomi, and David & Jonathan. Each chapter includes study questions at the end, which you can use for your own journaling or as discussion questions in a book club/ women's group. The book is well written and flows nicely with the author not holding back on her personal experiences, hurts, and joys over her lifetime. If you are a Christian woman, and you have or would like to have friends, this book is worth reading. The Friendships of Women is also an excellent choice in a small group setting as it will give you lots to talk about!

    This review is from: The Friendships of Women: The Beauty and Power of God's Plan for Us (Dee Brestin's Series) (Paperback)
    This is a great book. It answered a lot of questions I had concerning friendships, like how to be a good friend and how to maintain friendships, and why they sometimes go sour! It illustrates real life friendship issues we all face and offers lots of practical wisdom from great Biblical examples, and it's funny too!

    This is an insightful book for us women to see biblical truth on friendship--why we need our girlfriends and what healthy friendships look like. I have given copies to several friends, and they all loved and learned from the book as well. Highly recommended.
