Why We Are Friends: 100 Reasons

By Philip Graham Ryken

Book Overview

Everyone wants a friend. Everyone needs a friend. Friends support us, understand us, and lend a sympathetic ear or hand when needed. They are the ones with whom we can let down our guard and be ourselves. In "Why We are Friends," Gregory E. Lang celebrates the joys and blessings of friendship. Friends "can have fun doing almost anything or just hanging out and doing nothing," he writes. Sometimes we seek out friendship, other times it come to us unexpectedly. Either way, we are always the better for finding a true friend. Each is unique, and although one can never replace another, somehow we always seem to find room in our hearts for just one more. When you call another person "friend," you pay him or her your highest compliment. "Why We are Friends" is a gift book that one friend can give to another to say, "I value you, and I am thankful you're in my life. I hope I have been as good a friend to you as you have been to me."
