In this companion to Friend Me: Turning Faces into Lasting Friendships, Donna Carter invites you to explore the material in greater depth and apply it more directly to your life in the context of a small group.

This guide is designed to walk you through each of the chapters in Friend Me and/or the accompanying DVD sessions. It features questions for personal reflection and small group discussion, as well as space for the participant to record personal impressions.

At the end is a section especially designed for group leaders, with guidance from the author to help navigate fluctuations in group dynamics, as well as encouragement for the facilitator seeking to achieve a balanced approach by challenging the participants to grow while being sensitive to their unique backgrounds.

The first step in improving your relationships is to form them in the first place. What better way to practice the principles of strong friendships than by interacting with other women who share the same commitment to improving their relationships? So, find yourself a group and get started on your journey toward soul-satisfying friendships!
