About this audiobook
Women long for deep and lasting friendships but often find them challenging to make. The private angst they feel regarding friendship often translates into their own insecurity and isolation. Christine Hoover offers women a fresh, biblical vision for friendship that allows for the messiness of our lives and the realities of our schedules. She shows women - what's holding them back from developing satisfying friendships - how to make and deepen friendships - how to overcome insecurity, self-imposed isolation, and past hurts - how to embrace the people God has already placed in their lives as potential friends - and how to revel in the beauty and joy of everyday friendship With stories of real friendships and guidance drawn from Scripture, Hoover encourages women to intentionally and purposefully invest in one of the most rewarding relationships God has given us.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book challenged me and convicted me in the area of Christian friendship in ways I didn't even realize I needed to be challenged and convicted. Christine uses the gospel as her base for addressing what healthy biblical friendship looks like, as well as unhealthy patterns we often get sucked into living in a fallen world. I am really grateful for the wisdom in this book! It certainly has pointed me back to the Lord in these areas I've been struggling with.
