Our culture idolizes romance and the love of parents for their children. But Jesus said there was no greater love than sacrificial friendship love. What’s more, He issued a command to live into this kind of love. Christian friendship isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s vital. But it’s also dangerous.
Friends can pull us up when we’re knocked down, embrace us with their love, and spur us on to follow Jesus. But friends can also grind us to the ground or invite us into sin.
Male or female, single or married, joyful or lamenting, lonely or embraced, we all need friendship love. No Greater Love: A Biblical Vision for Friendship book will help us give and receive it in a way that calls us back to Jesus’s commandment: that we love each other just like He loves us.
