Closer Than a Sister
How Union with Christ helps Friendships to Flourish
Christina Fox
Theological foundation of Christian friendship
The richness of engaging in a community of Christian sisters
The challenges of pursuing these relationships
We live in an age where ‘friendships’ are prolific and contact is constant. But are all of these people really our friends? The bond of Christian friendship is different. Built on our unity with Christ, these are real life, flesh and blood relationships – both sacred and sacrificial. Christina Fox offers insight into how we can weave friendships that last through any season and reflect Christ to the world.
