Through principles and practices, you will be challenged and equipped to cultivate friendships that go the distance--something simple, yet not easy.Jonathan JP Pokluda, lead pastor, Harris Creek Baptist Church; bestselling author, Why Do I Do What I Dont Want to Do?; host, Becoming Something podcastI dont know about you, but it can feel like an admission of inadequacy to confess that I have fewer intimate friendships than I would like. Worse, it can feel like this is an indictment of who I am as a person, an intractable, interminable problem with no solution and no path forward. Thankfully, Justin Whitmel Earley provides a path forward and helps us to see, to paraphrase Dallas Willard, that friendship is opposed not to effort but to earning. I learned so much from this book and have found it to be helpful in my own life. I especially appreciate Justins focus on spiritual disciplines and the centrality of prayer in friendship. Let this book guide you to a life of friendship.Michael Wear, author, The Spirit of Our Politics: Spiritual Formation and the Renovation of Public LifeIn an age when loneliness and isolation feel especially pernicious, we desperately need steady wisdom and clear guidance toward a better way.
