The most amazing thing that Jesus said may be “I have called you friends” (John 15:15).

Unfortunately, the meaning of friendship has changed many times since the moment those words were spoken. Today, most of our models of relationship come from mid twentieth century psychology, which was hostile to faith.

But there is a better way.

Greg Books reveals time-honored principles to help us experience stronger, more satisfying relationships in our families, friendships, and faith communities.

– Discover why today’s models of relationships are the opposite of a classical, oral understanding of relationships.

– Learn how the biblical model of friendship creates the foundation for strong, vibrant, and satisfying Christian community.

– Explore the tenants of oral communities as the foundation for deeper relationships

To experience stronger, more satisfying relationships with our friends, our families, and our faith communities, it’s time to get back to our roots. Greg Books shows us the way.
