An oldie but a goodie.

I reread this book after learning that one of my pastor friends uses this as a textbook for the Friendship Seminars he gives. I had forgotten how good it is.

Even the best friendships need a tuneup every so often, and this is an excellent book to read and share with a friend.

In my mind, friendship is one of God's greatest gifts in life. Two of my closest friendships were stagnating a while ago, and this book was instrumental in making them better than ever. It's important to have the hard conversations when a friendship gets out of balance. People of good character can always handle it…and actually welcome it.
