I struggle with friendships sometimes because I'm a demanding person (of myself as much as others, but it's still a problem.) and worry about asking too much of my friends. The logic that I would do the same for them isn't always useful as I probably put too much energy into people sometimes. I don't know.<br /><br />Basically I'll read the book!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17416265133804487369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-16730571677930184102011-12-04T11:22:00.716-08:002011-12-04T11:22:00.716-08:00I had a conversation on Friday with a friend about...I had a conversation on Friday with a friend about how there are some women I just connect with. We have a lot in common, conversation between us flows, and I come away from our times together feeling refreshed and joyful. But there are also women who, no matter how hard I try, I just can't connect with. It's not that there's anything wrong we just don't, well... connect. <br /><br />I guess that's ok. You can't be BFF with the whole world, right?Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-33063608641787029792011-11-30T15:46:49.921-08:002011-11-30T15:46:49.921-08:00Hmmmm, have you read Dee Brestin's "The F...Hmmmm, have you read Dee Brestin's "The Friendships of Women"? I really liked that book--it was a true eye-opener for me and had some insightful Biblical commentary. And then a book I read recently (which one?? I can't remember, lol, but the point remains with me) alluded to a person sabotaging a friendship with too high of expectation--phew! That one hit home! So. . .the topic doesn't appeal to me right now, but maybe later! :) Thanks for a thought-provoking review. This topic really can be a struggle!!!Shonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310547848215492736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-33595412494983976142011-11-30T12:18:32.672-08:002011-11-30T12:18:32.672-08:00Aha!

I need all the help I can get. <br /><br />I just told someone the other day that guys are just a lot easier to get along with.

From your review it sounds like it addresses some issues correctly and some incorrectly but it will start the topics well and be worth getting into.<br />I have always thought "peer" to be a vastly vague concept...<br /><br />The tongue as weapon is a very serious issue that needs addressed. Friendship is not something that often comes my way but the friends I do have are the kind of people I can talk to about anything, listen to about everything and count on to have my back in prayer and when I say I will pray for them, I WILL. <br />TRUTH is the main factor of friendship. But its a give and take truth of love, not the critical, degrading false-truth of breaking a person down with words so one feels better about ones own lack of self confidence.<br />I've always loved the statement that" Friends are people that know your flaws and love you anyway." Friend is a dear sweet word to me, for the people God has brought into my life that have blessed me beyond measure and seen me through the darkest times.<br />And here i am reading and typing again when I have a list as long as my arm today! But I do enjoy the stimulation in my brain that your book reviews inspire!Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446914963118461073noreply@blogger.com
