Each page has a scripture quotation, followed by a short excerpt on different aspects of friendship. It can be read one passage at a time, in sequence, by theme, by bible verse (there is a Scripture Index at the back) or simply by opening randomly. Examples of topics include `What is a True Friend?', `What Friends are For' and `Friends Bring Happiness'. It's not really a book that you read from cover to cover in one sitting - more a book that you read a couple of pages a day or look over when having one of `those' days!
