The Friendship Project: The Catholic Woman’s Guide to Making and Keeping Fabulous, Faith-Filled Friends

In The Friendship Project, Faehnle and Jaminet explore the cardinal and theological virtues with an eye toward friendship. Focusing on faith, hope, love, prudence, gratitude, loyalty, generosity, and prayerfulness, they help us answer questions such as, What does it mean to be women of hope, and how does that change our lives and make us more compassionate friends during difficult times? and How does prayerfulness teach us how to listen to and talk with both God and our friends, which helps us reach out to those we love?

Faehnle and Jaminet answer these questions and more by employing Church teaching and telling us stories of their own friendships and those from the lives of saints and biblical women-including the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Elizabeth, St. Therese of Lisieux and her sister Servant of God Leonie. Not only will you be drawn closer to friends both new and old but you’ll also be reminded how these friendships draw you closer to God.

Prayers, discussion questions, and a study guide make this a perfect resource for women’s groups.
