"We need our people.  We need friends standing in our corner, cheering us on, believing in us.  We need listening ears, shares of inside jokes, keepers of secrets.  We need those who laugh when we laugh, cry when we cry, and then pass the chips and salsa...that's the gift of friendship." - Dawn Camp (19)

Well said, Dawn.  Just like in her first book, The Beauty of Grace, The Gift of Friendship is a collection of personal stories from writers, with the power to bring & remind us of God's grace in our lives.  Every single story in this book is one of beauty, of personal shared moments with a friend or community that lends to God's plan for us as relational beings.  I can honestly say each story touched me on some level and brings forth past memories, or a sudden desire to call a friend or send a note to one. These are heartfelt stories of friendships that may be simple, short or of the past, but each story shares of a sense of communal belonging, of being loved and wanted and remembered.  A book of blessings and memories that will captivate you, disarm you and make you feel. And that's why, this is a winner. Get one for yourself, and share one or more with others. As you read this, many of those that have entered your life at some point will pop in your mind, and those are the very people that will appreciate this gift, and your gift - your gift of friendship.
