Made for People: Why We Drift into Loneliness and How to Fight for a Life of Friendship
Ebook
Discover the art of fostering life-giving, life-long friendships and the individual habits that make them possible.
Loneliness is deadly. We know this psychologically and spiritually. Sin wants us to be alone, and it often feels like today's world is tailor-made to keep us that way.
In Made for People—by bestselling author of The Habits of the Household—Justin Whitmel Earley explains why God made us to experience deep friendship and how we can cultivate them despite a culture of busyness, disconnection, and fear of vulnerability.
Through personal stories, research, and biblical wisdom, Justin paints of a picture of God's design for "covenant friendships." This book will teach you:
- How loneliness points to our God-given needs.
- Why vulnerability is the beginning of real friendship.
- How to deepen the friendships we already have.
- Key habits that create a lifestyle of friendship.
Isolation may be the norm of modern life, but it doesn’t have to be the story of yours, and it isn’t what you were made for. In fact, you were made to be among people who know you fully and love you anyway.
Leave behind loneliness and build the life of deep connection you long for.
