Dee Brestin presents new insights into several familiar Bible stories and discusses heart idols which are invisible but do impact our walk with God. She identifies three but tends to focus on Control/Power in her examples and her own stories. I found it to be a very convicting study.
Silné a vřelé ženské přátelství je jedinečným Božím darem. Ženy však také jedna druhou umějí hluboce zranit. Jaký je Boží plán pro přátelství mezi ženami? Jak máme naplnit touhu po blízké přítelkyni, kterou do nás Bůh vložil? A kde najít příklad pro budování zdravého a pevného vztahu, který nás nebude srážet, ale posilovat?

Dee Brestinová ve své knížce povzbuzuje čtenářky, aby naslouchaly své touze po přátelství a aktivně přátelské show more vztahy vyhledávaly a pěstovaly. Na biblických příkladech přátelství ukazuje, jak se nechat do přátelství vést Bohem, jak být v přátelství vytrvalé, jak se v něm učit novým věcem, jak se přátelit s ženami, které procházejí zkouškami, nebo jak se vyvarovat nezdravé citové závislosti. show less
I feel like it took me a long time to finish this book and I'm not sure why. Perhaps there were points that God wanted me to ponder for a certain time or perhaps there were parts that He knew would make more sense to me if I waited a time to read that chapter. There were some hard parts to read and some parts that confirmed what I'd done in past relationships was correct, even if painful. I found it read faster if I skipped the Bible Study parts at the end of each chapter.
Excellent book uses Biblical examples of friendship as well as personal experiences of other women to point out strengths and weaknesses of friendships. It also talks about ways to strengthen friendships.
