The Friendships of Women: The Beauty and Power of God's Plan for Us This is the book that has sold over a million copies and become the classic on this topic. Dr. Dobson said "Every woman should read this book." Dee has recently revised it to include the cultural changes (such as how cyberspace affects friendships) for today.
In The Friendships of Women, Dee Brestin encourages you to listen to your need for friendships and to find and strengthen those relationships. Relying on key biblical stories, Dee explores what the story of Ruth teaches us about "rapport talk," how Luke celebrates the power of women's intuition, and what we can learn about avoiding unhealthy dependency from one of the most significant friendships in the Old Testament.
With a passion borne from an intense belief in the power of friendship, Dee guides your relationships to new levels of intimacy and trust. Engaging, honest, and deeply personal, The Friendships of Women will inspire you to see your desire for friendship not as a burden but as a gift.

About The Author Dee Brestin became known as a young woman when The Friendships of Women was released, which went on to become a classic, selling over a million copies. For twenty-five years Dee has profoundly impacted the hearts of women through her internationally published Bible studies. She recently paired with Kathy Troccoli to do the Trilogy Falling in Love with Jesus. In August of 2009, The God of All Comfort (Finding Your Way Into His Arms) will be released. Dee feels it is the best work God has allowed her to do, springing out of her own grief journey after losing her husband, at the age of 59, to colon cancer.
Dee is a frequent guest on Focus on the Family and Moody Radio’s Mid-Day Connection. Dee is unique as a speaker in that she believes in helping women see the powerful truth of God’s Word as well as hear it through dramatic audio-visuals. Her teaching evokes both laughter and tears. She has strong recommendations from Dr. Dobson, Beth Moore, and Max Lucado.
