My Review
Friendship is hard to define these days what with all of us having "friends" on Facebook who are often people we have never met. I will admit to having "friends" I've never met...some are fellow bloggers and some are authors whose writing I admire. True friendship is harder to define. We all have so many acquaintances who we may call friends but can you call on them in the tough times? I have friends who are people I've known almost my entire life. Do I see them daily or talk to them frequently..no. But when I need a true friend I know I can count on their support.
This lovely devotional which will be published on August 1st focuses on friendship. This book understands that while a woman's most important human relationship will be with her spouse, a woman needs the support and love of her good friends. In the introduction, it points out that "Who can understand the heart of a woman - with all its joys and triumphs, challenges and heartaches - better than another woman". Each devotion begins with bible scripture which is then supported with a devotional written by one of the women involved with the Circle of Friends Ministry and other women authors. There is a brief biography of each contributing author at the end of the book as well as a Scripture Index.
This inspiring devotional would be a lovely gift from one friend to another.
Proverbs 18:24
There are “friends” who destroy each other,
but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. NLT
