For so many of us, our friends are like family members--we lean on them through our highest highs and our lowest lows--but sometimes those friendships don't turn out quite as we hoped. Bible teacher Kelly Needham debunks our world's constricted, narrow view of friendship and casts a richer, more life-giving, biblical vision for friendship.

In Friend-ish, Kelly Needham reminds us that we were called to more than halfhearted friendships and lukewarm connections. We need something more stable, secure, and sacred. We were designed for real friendship--but the difficult truth is that too many of us are settling for less.

Kelly deconstructs what Scripture says about the gift of friendship and takes a closer look at the distorted view that most of us have instead. As she shares the lessons she's learned from experience, Kelly paints her own glorious vision of what Christian friendship could look like.

With hard-fought wisdom, a clear view of Scripture, and a been-there perspective, Friend-ish teaches us how to:

  • Recognize symptoms of idolatry and toxic dependency
  • Boldly ask for what we need from our community of friends
  • Understand and address the problems that arise in friendship--from neediness to discord
  • Recognize when it's time to end an unhealthy friendship
  • Reorient toward the purposeful, loving relationships we all crave that ultimately bring us closer to God
  • Find the friends you need and start to become that friend for others

Join Kelly as she challenges you to view your chosen family in a new light, gain a vision of friendship according to Jesus, and finally enjoy friendships as God intended.

Such a good and convicting book. After listening to Kelly’s audible version, I bought two hard copies for my teenage daughters to read.

Wow. What an absolutely amazing book. I'm a nearly 50 year old woman who was blown away by the much younger author's wise instruction about friendship. The entire book makes you examine your friendships from the perspective of what the Bible teaches about them. Truly a great book. I plan on listening to it again.

Fantastic book from Christian perspective

So timely and very practical! As one who has long wrestled with being a people pleaser and who has often made mistakes in the area of friendships, I was so blessed and convicted by the content of this book - refreshed by a clear vision both of my sin AND the Christ-centered way forward to freedom and fullness in relationships. Thank you Kelly for your faithfulness in God's leading!
