Soul Friends by Dr. Leslie Parrott discusses the necessity
of close, honest, real, God-given relationships in our lives.
The publisher sums it up well with
Dr.
Leslie Parrott is speaking the heart-language of women in her new book that
shares how friendships are essential for spiritual formation - for women of all
ages.
In Soul Friends, Dr. Leslie
Parrott brings you into an intimate and vulnerable conversation about the
life-changing value of deep-spirited friendships and soul-altering
relationships.
Whether it’s a new friend, a member of a small
group, or a friend we’ve had for years, these soul-friends embody the grace
that enables us to take a next step in the unfolding journey of our lives. God
has great purpose, intention, and fulfillment in the give-and-take of
deep-spirited friendships. If we purposely cultivate them, God will bring us
soul-friends to help us along our spiritual journey.
Leslie reveals how every woman traverses four
stages of growth—quest, calling, crisis, and communion – again and again. And
whatever stage you find yourself traveling right now, you need soul friends to
help you move forward.
With courageous honesty and heart-felt
revelation and reflection, Leslie reminds every woman of the incredibly
intimate, intricate, faith-forming work God does in her through the gift of
soul friends he places in her life.
I enjoyed this book a lot. I found the messages easy to
understand, practical, and relatable. I
also like the setup of the book. The
chapters are fairly small making it easy to pick up and read a chapter or two
when I had time. I hope to pass this
book on to some friends in my life and see if we can foster a deeper relationship
like she discusses. It has also
challenged me to be more open about my faith and my struggles with those who
are already close to me. If I am not
real with them, how can I expect them to ever be real with me?
