4.0 out of 5 stars Friendship Growing side by side, August 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Friendship: Growing Side by Side (Lifeguide Bible Studies) (Paperback)

If you are looking to be a better friend or just get closer to the ones that you have then this is a great study. There are many great insights in here on how to have a closer friendship through God.I was amazed that in these 12 studies there were so many points to friendship that we may not pay attention to. At the end of each study is a section called "Going deeper" That really allows you to think about all you have just learned. In the Scripture reference that is given to follow, it really takes you back to the lives of those in it and allows you to think about how we treat are friends and neighbors. In reading the Scriptures that came with each study I found that had I not been doing this study I may have never seen the Scripture that way. I would reccomend this study be it for one or a group. It has great format and very well thought out questions. It will truly make you value the friendships you have by making them closer.

This is a must read for all Christians! By studying the Bible together with others, you are bound to grow in God's love. "For wherever two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in their midst."
