The author explores the sacred dimension of friendship through the lens of faith, tradition, scripture and the social sciences and reveals the often-overlooked voices and experiences of women in the Bible. She recovers and reclaims the witness and wisdom of such women as Lydia, Prisca, Phoebe, Martha, Deborah, Esther, Rachel, Ruth, Veronica, Elizabeth, Anne, and Mary Magdalene. Drawing a highly inspiring message from each of these women's lives, the author invites the reader to seek and embrace friendship as it is embodied between women, between God the Creator and all of creation, and between all human beings. A clean very presentable copy.
