description: For so many of us our friends are like family members--we lean on them through our highest highs and our lowest lows--but sometimes those friendships don't turn out quite as we hoped. Bible teacher Kelly Needham debunks our world's constricted narrow view of friendship and casts a richer more life-giving biblical vision for friendship. In Friend-ish  Kelly Needham reminds us that we were called to more than halfhearted friendships and lukewarm connections. We need something more stable secure and sacred. We were designed for real friendship--but the difficult truth is that too many of us are settling for less. Kelly deconstructs what Scripture says about the gift of friendship and takes a closer look at the distorted view that most of us have instead. As she shares the lessons she's learned from experience Kelly paints her own glorious vision of what Christian friendship could look like. With hard-fought wisdom a clear view of Scripture and a been-there perspective Friend-ish teaches us how Join Kelly as she challenges you to view your chosen family in a new light gain a vision of friendship according to Jesus and finally enjoy friendships as God intended.
