A friend loves at all times. Proverbs 17:17
Friendship is one of God’s greatest treasures. Joyful moments are sweeter with a friend. Hardships are born with greater courage—and even humor—when a friend is at your side. And when tragedy strikes, our friendships often go deeper. But while we were designed for relationships, they aren’t always easy.
Sometimes it’s difficult to know the best way forward—when and how to strengthen a strained friendship or when it’s better to let go. In Friend-Wise, Becky Harling takes us to the fount of wisdom—the Proverbs—to guide us in cultivating stronger relationships with our friends and families.
Becky teaches friendship skills, sharing wisdom on: Loyalty and guarding your heart. Contentment. Vulnerability. Forgiveness. Generosity. Advice. Encouragement. Criticism. Envy. Telling and speaking the truth. Apologizing. Trying to impress. Defensiveness. Strength. Dignity. And much more.
Loaded with stories, each short chapter includes relational truths from Proverbs, a reflective question, and a prayer to carry you through the day. The reader’s heart will be encouraged and uplifted as she discovers the richness of wisdom found in Proverbs and becomes Friend-Wise.
