Looking deeply into biblical stories of female friendships
in order to extract greater truths, this compelling work
explores the sacred dimension of friendship through the
lenses of faith, tradition, and scripture, revealing the
often overlooked voices and experiences of women in the Old
and New Testaments. Recovering and reclaiming the witness
and wisdom of such women as Lydia, Prisca, Phoebe, Martha,
Deborah, Esther, Rachel, Ruth, Veronica, Elizabeth, Anne,
and Mary Magdalene, and drawing a highly inspiring message
from each of these women's lives, the book embraces
friendship as it is embodied by women, between God and all
of creation, and between all human beings.
