In her book, " Friendship for Grownups: What I missed and learned along the Way" Facts of Life star Lisa Whelchel shares her experiences of growing up without knowing what a spirit friend or true friend can be, and how God taught her to develop the skills and compassion to build true friendships through his Grace.
Because she had spent the most crucial parts of her childhood on the set of a wildly popular TV
show, she had to learn early in her life to guard her heart to avoid the backstabbing in the culture that surrounded her. Sadly, not only did she build walls to keep hurt out, but also to keep out those who would love her. This handicapped her ability to form lasting friendships as an adult.
I found it to be a light, heartwarming read while giving real-life advice and tools. Friendship for Grown-Ups details her experiences of learning to come out of her shell, to trust, risk and become vulnerable to God's grace and find meaningful friendships. Readers encounter genuine honesty and willingness to share her story and refreshing perspective on life's most precious gift—friendship God's way, with grace and love around every corner.
