Description
In A Friend in Me, Pam Lau shows you how to be a safe place for the younger women in your life. She offers five patterns women need to internalize and practice for initiating relationships and talking about issues such as faith, forgiveness, sexuality, and vocation. Most significantly, she reminds you that there doesn't need to be a divide between generations of women. Together, we can have a global impact—and experience a deeper faith than we've ever known.

As a youth group leader for 14-18 year olds, as well as having a number of younger woman as friends I was really interested to see what advice this book had on how to relate to younger Christians, how to build meaningful and supportive relationships which both encourage and, where necessary, challenge, as well as being accountable to older Christians.
I was blown away by the book. It went through advice based on the author's personal experience and this was interwoven with Biblical principles for relationships. The practical outworking of comfort being shown through the example of Abigail was one which I would not have necessarily thought of myself but was very effective.
This is a book which I will definitely be rereading and making more notes on as I seek to apply some of the principles into the relationships I have.

As women created by God, we are created to come alongside others in our friendships and with our spouses. This study is about friendships and in particular women’s friendships. Coming alongside has been a lost art. It takes commitment and time and a denying of ourselves with our pride, impatience and at times our narcissism.
Are you the type that likes to fix people? Are you overwhelmed with all that you have to do? I appreciated how this study helped addressed this issue because my daughters could tell you that I get in “I know how to fix” this mode when all they need me to do is listen. This book addresses many cultural issues that can help you to build friendships and not tear down those that need the love of God.
It is in friendships and coming alongside others is where we will begin to see changes in our hearts towards others and in ourselves. It is in the acts of kindness and mercy where others grow and we become a safe haven. It is not the quantity of friends but the quality of our friendships. It is in serving others with mercy and kindness that we decrease and Christ increases.
If Pamela Havey Lau comes to speak, I would encourage you to attend and in the meantime, this study would be a great start in building a friend in you.
A Special Thank you to David C. Cook and Netgalley for ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.
