Euripides, un amigo del filosofo Socrates, afirmo que “los amigos multiplican los gozos y dividen las tristezas”. Pocas cosas en la vida son mas gratificantes y retadoras que la amistad. Todos experimentan su bondad en algun punto del camino, y aun asi la mayoria de nosotros podemos recordar esos momentos amargos de haber descuidado la amistad, tal vez por aos.
Juan Moncayo reconoce que vivimos en una epoca clave en la que es crucial entender las relaciones, sanar de algunas de ellas y tener un marco apropiado de lo que significa ser un verdadero amigo. Este libro te guiara a traves de un entendimiento de la amistad biblica para que puedas experimentar que la vida en realidad es mejor con amigos.
Euripides, a friend of the philosopher Socrates, affirmed that “Friends double the joys and divide the sorrows.” Fewer things in life are as fulfilling and challenging as friendship. Everyone experiences its goodness at some point along the journey, and yet most of us can remember those bitter moments of having neglected friendship, maybe for years.
Juan Moncayo recognizes that we live in a key time where it is crucial to understand relationships, heal from some of them and have a proper framework for what it is to be a good friend. In his book he will guide you through a biblical understanding of friendship so that you may experience that life is actually better with friends.

Friend Me : Turning Faces Into Lasting Relationships
$14.99Add to cartFrom Virtual Friends to Authentic Relationships
With the rise of social media, more of us are managing our relationships online instead of in person. Technology that was meant to make communication easier and faster for busy people may have met its goal, but often at the expense of intimacy and meaningful conversation. In many cases, friendship has become a status decided by the click of a mouse. Kindling a relationship-or cutting one off-is as simple as “friending” someone or removing that person from your list. And someone with a thousand-plus online pals may be the loneliest person on the planet.
If you can identify, you’re not alone. That’s because each of us is wired to thrive in the context of real relationships-live interaction with real individuals, such as is shared by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It’s how we give and receive emotional sustenance and support. Yet this type of intimacy can’t be achieved online.
Join Donna Carter on a journey to stronger, more satisfying relationships as you explore:
*The risks of being vulnerable and why they’re worth it
*Qualities to seek out in a friend, as well as to cultivate in your own life
*Toxic relationships and how to avoid them
*Steps toward reconciliation, including forgiveness
*The purpose of solitude in refreshing the soul
*And more!Experience a richness in your human relationships that you’ve never experienced before. And, as you do, draw closer to the One who designed you to love and be loved, by other people and by Him.

When A Friendship Falls Apart
$17.99Add to cartWe all long for “friends forever”–but what happens when forever ends?
They say friends are the family we choose. And that choosing–the joy of loving and being loved by someone who isn’t genetically obligated to share life with us–adds priceless worth to our days, but also great risk. Because hurt can happen even in the closest friendships, and sometimes friendships fall apart. The loss can be staggering. As we struggle to digest the pain and confusion, we wonder, How could this happen? And what do I do now?
In When a Friendship Falls Apart, beloved author Elizabeth Laing Thompson comes alongside readers as they process their struggling friendships–the faltering, the fractured, and the failed. Blending personal story, biblical examples, and faith-filled wisdom, each page explores questions like the following:
*How do we guard against the poison of bitterness so we can process the hurt and move forward?
*When and how do we seek reconciliation? What does forgiveness look like?
*How do we know when it’s time to leave a friendship behind?
*How do we open up again and entrust our wounded hearts to new friendships?
If you find yourself in the midst of a friendship that’s falling apart, or you’re grappling with past hurts and regrets, this book is for you. May it be a comfort and help, leading you closer to the Friend who will never leave.

Friendish : Reclaiming Real Friendship In A Culture Of Confusion
$17.99Add to cartBible teacher Kelly Needham debunks our world’s constricted, small view of friendship and casts a richer, more life-giving, biblical vision for friendship as God meant it to be.
As the family unit grows more unstable and the average age of marriage increases, a shift is taking place in our culture: for many people, friends now play the role of family. And just as with family relationships, our friendships often don’t turn out quite as we envisioned or hoped, and we wonder, Is there a better way to do this?
In Friend-ish, Kelly Needham takes a close look at what Scripture says about friendship. She reveals the distorted view most of us have of it and recasts a glorious vision for a Christian understanding. By teaching us how to recognize symptoms of idolatry and dependency, she equips us to understand and address the problems that arise in friendship–from neediness to discord and even sexual temptation. With hard-fought wisdom, a clear view of Scripture, and been-there perspective, Needham reorients us toward the purposeful, loving relationships we all crave that ultimately bring us closer to God.
