How to be safe I have always had a heart for mentoring and getting more women of the older and younger generations connected with each other. To this day it is still a huge desire of my heart to see more Godly older women helping those of the younger generation, and really anyone can fit in those categories.

Anyway, I was excited to see this book come up for review because of my passion for the topic. A Friend in Me is a book made to help us learn how to be a safe haven for other women. It teaches you how to become more accessible and for others to feel safe sharing the deep dark secrets that they need a more Godly women to help them walk through. This book had many moments that made me stop and pray about whether I was the type of women that I wanted to be. That being said it was a bit difficult to read at times. The writing felt disjointed in places and random. I think it could have used a couple more edits and good transitions to help it read easier. There were also several times when she would be trying to let you know of a real life example of what she was talking about but instead of feeling personal it just felt disjointed and left you wondering who in the world this person was. She would just mention someone's name like you knew who they were, what they did, and why it was important. Like I said, this book does have lots of great jewels in it I just feel those jewels needed a bit more polish. However, I would still recommend it if you are wanting to learn how to be the type of women that a younger women could trust and confide in. All opinions I have expressed are my own or those of my family. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC Regulations.  Some say loneliness is an inevitable part of living in a sin-drenched world, and there is a measure of truth in that. On the other hand, Christians should be there for the lonely, for those who are struggling and need someone to hear their hearts. This should be especially true in the church where no one should be living ‘uncomforted under the pressure of sickness, loneliness, and poverty,’ and ideally we would have time and energy to reach out to everyone around us. Of course that is easy to say, but doing so wisely and well is a different matter. It involves everything from being careful about our use of time to learning how to love others.
