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 to: Recognize symptoms of idolatry and toxic dependency Boldly ask for what we need from our community of friends Understand and address the problems that arise in friendship--from neediness to discord Recognize when it's time to end an unhealthy friendship Reorient toward the purposeful, loving relationships we all crave that ultimately bring us closer to God Find the friends you need and start to become that friend for others 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.

Good foundations are critical for both buildings and our Christian lives. But many Christians have not had the opportunity to ensure that their lives truly are built on the rock of truth. So, this first volume in the series establishes a solid foundation on which to build a fulfilling and purposeful Christian life. It also prepares the ground for all the dynamic teaching that follows in subsequent volumes.

Do you desire the abundant life Jesus promised yet feel confused about how to experience this kind of life? If so, you are not alone! Part 2 of the Journey with God Bible Study Series (weeks 12-22) invites women to learn to recognize and engage in God's interactive and life-giving presence, to cultivate and deepen a nourishing, vibrant walk with God, and to be aware of the schemes of the enemy, who cunningly convinces us that our negative and harassing thoughts are our own. Journey with us into the deeper places of God's heart, and hear from Him in His own words. Let Him show you how deep His love is for you, and to what lengths He will go to restore you to fullness of life. As you study some of the most poignant passages in Scripture, we believe this journey will leave you profoundly marked by the love of God. This is Part 2 of the 3-part series, but can easily be used as a single 11-week study. Messages are available in MP3 and CD formats at www.journeybiblestudy.com.

Can psychology and religion engage in constructive dialogue ? Has psychology a contribution to make in Christian formation ? These are some of the issues addressed in this volume, marking 25 years of the Institute of Psychology of the Gregorian University. The twenty articles which make up the work offer essential insights into how psychology and religion can meet and interact constructively, at the level of theory and of practice. These insights are presented in the context of an overall Christian anthropology which continues to develop and to further refine its practical applications. The contributions are divided into four sections - theory and method, dialogue between psychology and other disciplines, applications in different cultures, and concrete experiences of applying a psychologically-informed Christian anthropology in the educational setting. The balanced approach presented in this work makes it both a serious instrument of study and a valuable point of reference for the educator. Its constant reference to a Christian conception of the person will help avoid short-sighted pragmatism.
