From the back cover:
When it comes to friendships, there's no place like home.
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. God takes care of that for you. Perhaps it's because He has something special in mind for each household. He longs to see you develop and enjoy intimate, lasting relationships with each other--special friendships that will draw everyone closer to the Creator while growing closer to each other. He wants you to have A House Full of Friends.
It can be done, and this paperback reveals the secrets. Susan Alexander Yates gives practical, powerful approaches for helping a family develop unbreakable bonds from within. The biblical guidelines, focus questions, and family-friendship-building activities inside this paperback make it a unique resource for shaping friendships within the family, including:
* parents and teenagers
* parents and younger children
* brothers and sisters
* parents and adult children
* parents and in-laws
* single-parent and blended families
Whatever the current condition of your family's relationships, they have the potential to be much stronger. The family is God's perfect design, and it's the foremost place where He wants us to model Christlike compassion, kindness, and patience. So if you're ready to tread in the land of unconditional love to experience the kind of family life God wants for you, strap on your hiking boots and head into these exciting pages!
