You see "women of Faith" and think, oh no...all church doctrine and nothing more. Wrong here! This is a good book, plain & simple. I enjoyed reading about the friends' lives: joys, trials, and opportunities for growth. Peggy Benson looks so much like my own Mother, I just had to fall in love her right away. Her girlfriends too...you'll love them. Keep an open mind for the rest of the text. Reading what these women wrote down will make you laugh, cry, and celebrate life. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book about Friendships, January 10, 2000

This review is from: Friends Through Thick and Thin (Paperback)

I truly enjoyed reading this book.. The relationship these four women share with each other and with the Lord is so inspiring.. I laughed with them at their funny stories and cried when I read about the sadness some of them have had to share. You feel Peggy Benson's sadness at the loss of her husband. You share in Sue Buchanans triumph over breast cancer. You'll cry at Gloria Gaithers tender memories of her mother, and you'll enjoy Joy MacKenzies way with words. But mostly this is a book about friendships. You feel the love these woman have for each other, for their familys and for the Lord. Theres such a warm comfortable feeling between them all.This was given to me by my best friend, and I have to say it's such a wonderful gift for a treasured girlfriend. I could so identify with this book for I love my sisters in the Lord. If you do too you will really enjoy this one.
