Friend-ish
Reclaiming Real Friendship in a Culture of Confusion
Kelly Needham
- For
- so
- many
- of
- us,
- our
- friends
- are
- like
- family
- members--we
- lean
- on
- them
- through
- our
- highest
- highs
- and
- our
- lowest
- lows--but
- sometimes
- those
- friendships
- don't
- turn
- out
- quite
- as
- we
- hoped.
- Bible
- teacher
- Kelly
- Needham
- debunks
- our
- world's
- constricted,
- narrow
- view
- of
- friendship
- and
- casts
- a
- richer,
- more
- life-giving,
- biblical
- vision
- for
- friendship.In
- Friend-ish,
- Kelly
- Needham
- reminds
- us
- that
- we
- were
- called
- to
- more
- than
- halfhearted
- friendships
- and
- lukewarm
- connections.
- We
- need
- something
- more
- stable,
- secure,
- and
- sacred.
- We
- were
- designed
- for
- real
- friendship--but
- the
- difficult
- truth
- is
- that
- too
- many
- of
- us
- are
- settling
- for
- less.Kelly
- deconstructs
- what
- Scripture
- says
- about
- the
- gift
- of
- friendship
- and
- takes
- a
- closer
- look
- at
- the
- distorted
- view
- that
- most
- of
- us
- have
- instead.
- As
- she
- shares
- the
- lessons
- she's
- learned
- from
- experience,
- Kelly
- paints
- her
- own
- glorious
- vision
- of
- what
- Christian
- friendship
- could
- look
- like.With
- hard-fought
- wisdom,
- a
- clear
- view
- of
- Scripture,
- and
- a
- been-there
- perspective,
- Friend-ish
- teaches
- us
- how
- to:Join
- Kelly
- as
- she
- challenges
- you
- to
- view
- your
- chosen
- family
- in
- a
- new
- light,
- gain
- a
- vision
- of
- friendship
- according
- to
- Jesus,
- and
- finally
- enjoy
- friendships
- as
- God intended.
