Synopsis

A CLASSIC GUIDE TO FINDING, RESTORING AND BUILDING LASTING FRIENDSHIPS. The high ideal to which friendship was held by the ancient writers, like Plato and Aristotle, seems to be an obsolete sentiment today. Western society, with its busyness and self-centredness, to many people, feels like a cold and lonely place. In this culture of cynicism and malaise Hugh Black directs our attention to the importance of friendship and the blessing that it can be. With elegantly poignant prose, Black draws on ancient writings, poetry and the Scriptures, helping us to rediscover the miracle of genuine friendship and to understand the care and keeping of such treasure. Along the way, Black addresses the challenges and responsibilities associated with friendship including the tragic consequences of eclipsed or wrecked friendships. He defines the limitations of friendship but also highlights the blessings it can bring. In true friendship, accountability and love inspire us to live with more honour, integrity and grace. Ultimately, we see that in Jesus Christ we can have that "higher friendship"-friendship with God himself-which revolutionizes the way we live, the way we think and the things we value. This classic work is an inspiring read!

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

By W. Robertson Nicoll D. D. Mr. Hugh Black, of Free St. George s, Edinburgh, is now, we suppose, the most popular preacher in Scotland. His wise and charming little book on Friendship is full of good things winningly expressed, and though very simply written, IS the result of real thought and experience. Mr. Black sis the art that conceals art. For young men especially this volume will be a golden possession, and it can hardly fail to affect their after lives. Mr. Black says well that the subject of friendship is less thought of among us now than it was in the old world. Marriage has come to mean infinitely more. Communion with God in Christ has become to multitudes the primal fact of life. Nevertheless the need for friendship remains. B ritish Weekly.
