Dalla quarta di copertina:
You were born to be a woman of influence. You were born to model your life on Jesus’ life, and in so doing, be a model for others. It may happen in a few quiet words over coffee, in a hug or a prayer. No matter how you do it, you have what it takes. God wants to influence people through you. Use this study guide with a small group of women who share your desire to grow and give... or use it in your private time with God. Either way, it’s time to begin. Let’s get started...together. Become the Friend You’ve Dreamed of Being (and Having) As young girls, we loved being part of a group of friends who made us feel special. Then we grew up. We got busy. Yet today, our need for friendship is as strong as ever-perhaps even stronger. With lives to plan and spiritual issues to address, we need friends who will give us feedback. We need other women who will be with us-drinking coffee at our kitchen table, praying with us, laughing together at our mistakes, and enjoying our presence. In Six Keys to Lasting Friendships, you’ll discover from Jesus’ model how to make more friends and how to better love the ones you already have. Best of all, you’ll enter into a life-changing experience-one that leads to an abiding, growing, strengthening, and enriching intimacy with others, and to the privilege of being called “my friend.”
