True Friend

This book explores the meaning of friendship and, more importantly, the biblical qualities we should consider when making and choosing friends. It is not simply about finding people who make us happy. It is about understanding the kind of relationships that can help us grow, fulfil our purpose, strengthen our faith, and become better people.

Friendship can build you, but it can also destroy you.

A good friend can encourage you when you are tired, correct you when you are going wrong, pray for you when you are weak, and remind you of who you are when you have forgotten. The wrong friendship, however, can slowly take you away from your values, your purpose, your faith, and even your relationship with God.

As you read this book, I pray that you will not only learn how to identify a true friend, but that you will also examine yourself.

Are you the kind of friend you are looking for?

My prayer is that you will take your time with these pages and allow the lessons, stories, Scriptures, and reflections to speak to you personally. May this book help you understand friendship more deeply, make wiser choices in your relationships, experience greater peace of mind, and learn how to live well with others.

And when you finish reading, may you be able to answer one question with honesty:

Are you also a friend to your friend?
