My Review:
Do you struggle with loneliness? Do you need more female friendships in your life? Do you want to strengthen the friendships you already have? If you answered any of the above questions with a “yes,” then “Girls’ Club: Cultivating Lasting Friendship in a Lonely World” by Sarah, Sally & Joy Clarkson, is for you. Even if you didn’t answer “yes,” this is a great resource and you should check it out!
“Girls’ Club: Cultivating Lasting Friendship in a Lonely World” by Sarah, Sally & Joy Clarkson is written by a mother and her two daughters. I like how different sections of the book are told from a different person’s point of view. I also love the relatable stories from their lives on friendship that they share throughout.
The authors address the issue of loneliness in today’s world. Ultimately, Christ heals us of our fundamental loneliness and answers the question, “Am I loveable?” The Clarksons gave so many practical tips on how to be a good friend, how to make friends and how to strengthen friendships. I found myself putting the book down multiple times to text or call my friends and apply what I had read. This book is such a wonderful resource that I highly recommend!
Content: This is a clean read.
Rating: I give this book 4 stars.
Genre: Christian non-fiction.
