Men are raised in a culture where individualism is exalted, friendships with other men tend to be superficial, and intimate friendship between men is often questioned. Even Christian men have a tendency to avoid close relationships with one another, perhaps out of fear that the relationship might be misinterpreted. Committing with Your Soul provides spiritual builders for meaningful relationships between men. God never intended for men to go the Christian journey alone. Christian men need other Christian men who will help keep them accountable as they strive together to live lives that are pleasing to God. Biblical friendship requires sincere commitment to God and to one another. Remember the story of Jonathan and David? Jonathan was next in line to sit on the throne of his father, King Saul; however, God had appointed David king of Israel. Jonathan's love for God came before his personal ambition. His love for God set the framework for loving David and developing a healthy intimate friendship with him. In this book, Leo Collymore draws from his personal experience to give you a Biblical insight into what it takes to be a committed friend. |
