From the Publisher
I believe the drift of American life is to become busier, wealthier people who used to have friends.
This book is an exhortation to swim against that current and fight for a life of friendship. Because real friendship is where you come to know Jesus as He truly is: a relational redeemer who has called you friend.
In His immeasurable grace, for the two decades or so that I’ve been walking with Jesus, God has given me tremendous friends to walk alongside. In this book, I define a friend as someone who knows you fully and loves you anyway. In other words, someone who is like Jesus to you: full of both vulnerability and commitment. This book is a monument to those kinds friendships and an exhortation to kindle the beautiful fire of friendship in a cultural winter of loneliness.
