Review by Rebecca Johnson for Secrets of Friendship
Rating:
“The secret of friendship is never belittling a friend’s enthusiasms.” – Day TwelveIf you have the desire to be a better friend or have a friend who would enjoy a mini-book about friendship, I can recommend this to you. Not only does J. Donald Walters give some very unique ideas, he draws on deep principles and is a keen observer of human interaction. The Secret Books are part of a series of “seed thoughts.” Two pages are offered for a day of the month. You can read the saying several times and with each repetition, the words will become absorbed more deeply into your subconscious. J. Donald Walters starts the book in a practical way by giving the first secret and explaining the type of friends you want to choose. If your friends are not sincere and loyal then you may be pouring your life into leaking vessels and find your time essentially spent mopping up spills. Besides marriage, keeping friendships vibrant, alive and interesting may be one of the most difficult tasks. You really do have to work at being a good friend. The best friends are very accepting of you as a soul and are willing to help you overcome your perilous ways. In fact, they care enough to tell you the truth even if it hurts. Although, at times we tend to like the friends who baby us and shield us from the truth. We like some friends to be a refuge from the storm. The author presents Friendship in an open and free way. “The secret of friendship is accepting your friends as they are, and not trying to re-create them in your image, or according to your own desires.” -Day NineYou may also enjoy: “Secrets of Emotional Healing”
