Great book for your girlfriends

Fabulous, informative, and a great book to enrich your friendships.
Caught my attention immediately - Erin and Carrie have great insights in this book on how to grow up you friendships with your girl friends.
Loved it - take it on vacation this summer and share it with your friends for Mother's day!

Great book for sisters, friends, and moms

I found this book extrememly helpful as I walk through my "grown up" friendships. This book offers not only concrete ways of being a better friend, but also how to move on from those friendships that are damaging. I appreciated the real stories from both women on their journeys through healthy and unhealthy friendships. I felt like they really said what we as Christian women think, but don't always have the guts to say or do. It really challenged me to look at friendship in a more mature manner. This book would make a great gift for those women close to to you.

The PERFECT book to give to your girlfriends!!

I absolutely LOVED this book!! Erin Smalley and Carrie Oliver have done an amazing job explaining the different kinds of friendships that women have and how we handle each friendship. I appreciate the fact that they both have shared some very personal stories about both healthy and failed friendships in their lives. I enjoyed this book so much that I have ordered a few more to give to my closest girlfriends. If you have ever been hurt or struggled through a broken friendship, you have got to read this book! It will help you view your friendships differently and possibly bring some healing. It did for me, anyway. It will also make you value and treasure your closest friends all the more. You won't regret purchasing this book. :)

Chocked full of wonderful insites!

As the authors wrote candidly from their own experiences, sharing insights many would not dare touch upon, I felt a connection from the get-go. It is an easy read, like sitting down and having coffee with a good friend who is chocked full of truth and reality about the rich and challenging aspects of the deepest of friendships. Half way through, I bought a copy for my daughter, and she felt the same!

Even when life is hectic and harried, every woman has a God-given longing for relationship, and her female friends play an important role in filling that. Oliver and Smalley help women distinguish between self-centered, insecure, childish relationships and other-centered, healthy, "grown-up" relationships. Using personal anecdotes and scriptural principles, they explain ten characteristics of a grown-up friend and offer ideas on how readers can develop these attributes in themselves. Finally, they tackle the tough issues of friendships, such as how to support a friend in crisis, how to work toward forgiveness when a friend has injured you, and how to determine when it is best to let a friendship go.
