Are We Really Friends?

This book is a necessary work to liberate people from the bondage of erroneous beliefs about friendships. It will exploit the false expectations we so readily impose on our friends so that we will all refrain from unrealistic presuppositions. This work will further provide the Biblical apologetic for God's design for friendships in order to eradicate Satan's destructive vices in these relationships. Only then can we more easily recognize that any friendship not framed by God's design and purpose is dangerous and toxic. Lastly, it will allow us to examine the many facets of Godly friendships with the hope of ultimately understanding the truth that one of the greatest sources of spiritual strength in the believer's life is found in wholesome Christian friendships. For your further edification, I have included discussion questions at the end of each chapter. I encourage you to engage them privately and in group study.
