Description

Our culture is not one that provides great encouragement for the nurture and development of deep, long-lasting, satisfying friendships. Friendship takes time. It involves sacrifice. And early-twenty-first-century Western culture, in all its busyness, is characteristically far more interested in receiving and possessing than sacrificing and giving. In this series of lectures, church historian Michael A.G. Haykin shows that friendship is a vehicle by which God enables us to enter into caring for not only our own soul but also the souls of one another.
