From AudioFile

Two Christians, a Texas human relations expert and a public speaking teacher, give practical advice on what it takes to have meaningful friendships. Speaking alternatively with enthusiasm, they reference their own friendship while explaining that good relationships are not just about organization or making time for people. It's more often lack of confidence and fear of intimacy that keep us from potential friends. Their ideas about trust, loyalty, and how to damage relationships will be helpful to people as they work through personal obstacles to having close friends. Though explicitly Christian, the authors use their faith in a measured way that doesn't overshadow the practical value of their advice.
