Befriend: Create Belonging in an Age of Judgment, Isolation, and Fear

2017 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist (Faith and Culture category)
Is real friendship too risky?
We live in a world where real friendship is hard to find. Suspicious of others and insecure about ourselves, we retreat into the safety of our small, self-made worlds. Now more than ever, itâ€™s easy to avoid people with whom we disagree or whose life experiences donâ€™t mirror our own. Safe among like-minded peers and digital â€œfriends,â€ we really donâ€™t have to engage with those who can challenge and enhance our limited perspectives. Tragically, even the church can become a place that minimizes diversity and reinforces isolation.

Jesus models a much richer vision of friendship. Scott Sauls, pastor and teacher, invites you to see the breadth of Christâ€™s love in this book, BeFriend. Join Scott on this journey through twenty-one meditations to inspire actively pursuing Godâ€™s love through expanding your circle of friends.

Scott has met too many people whose first impulse is to fence off their lives with relational barriers that only end up starving their own souls.

Yes, itâ€™s true: Real friendship is costly. Love does make us vulnerable. But without risk, our lives will remain impoverished.

Join Scott in BeFriend as he summons you toward diverse friendship that can enrich your life and, in the process, reveal a better version of yourself.
