Befriend: Create Belonging in an Age of Judgment, Isolation, and Fear
Description
2017 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist (Faith and Culture category) Is real
friendship too risky? We live in a world where real friendship is hard to
find. Suspicious of others and insecure about ourselves, we retreat into the
safety of our small, self-made worlds. Now more than ever, it’s easy to avoid
people with whom we disagree or whose life experiences don’t mirror our own.
Safe among like-minded peers and digital “friends,” we really don’t have to
engage with those who can challenge and enhance our limited perspectives.
Tragically, even the church can become a place that minimizes diversity and
reinforces isolation. Jesus models a much richer vision of friendship. Scott
Sauls, pastor and teacher, invites you to see the breadth of Christ’s love in
this book, BeFriend. Join Scott on this journey through twenty-one meditations
to inspire actively pursuing God’s love through expanding your circle of
friends. Scott has met too many people whose first impulse is to fence off
their lives with relational barriers that only end up starving their own
souls. Yes, it’s true: Real friendship is costly. Love does make us
vulnerable. But without risk, our lives will remain impoverished. Join Scott
in BeFriend as he summons you toward diverse friendship that can enrich your
life and, in the process, reveal a better version of yourself. Read more
