Synopses & Reviews
A complete resource to help women find and establish real friendships.
Women are looking for real friendships, faithful girlfriends with whom she can laugh, cry, and play, but especially those with whom she can pray on those particularly hard days. Friends who will speak the truth in love and then take you out for a hot fudge sundae. Women are looking for old-fashioned girlfriends who combine the zaniness of Lucy and Ethel or Laverne and Shirley, to help not only get you through the day but to make life just a little bit more fun and a whole lot more memorable.
Girlfriends, God, and Grace offers the tools women need to find and build these relationships in the midst of their stressed out, overcommitted lives. The book is divided into two sections:
- Finding Friendships
- Gatherings and Getaways
Each highlights not only the theory behind the need for real friends but how to go about securing them. Filled with practical tips and memory-making suggestions, Mary includes chapters on some of the difficulties one can encounter such as friends outside the faith and recognizing dangerous relationships. The second half of the book details step-by-step plans for creating your own special girlfriend adventure whether for a weekly Bible study, night out, road trip, or themed retreat. Discussion questions help make this a great personal or group study.
