My Thoughts:
The Seven Deadly Friendships is a very healthy and helpful book. At some point in life we all have friendships that aren’t necessarily healthy very us or we need to put strict boundaries on our time with certain people. Sometimes we aren't sure how to break away from friendships or we don't understand the influence these relationships have on us.
Maybe you struggle with relationships and if so, this book is for you! I love that this author talks about friendships in the Christian world, which is so rare! She gives readers permission to talk about something that might be hurtful and hard, which vulnerability and transparency. I love it! Mary talks about friendships can be destructive and gives practical advice on how to handle friendships between having a balance approach. I love how practical and realistic this book is. This book is one that I am going to hang on to and can see that it will be helpful in the future.
