A CLASSIC GUIDE TO FINDING, RESTORING AND BUILDING LASTING FRIENDSHIPS. The high ideal to which friendship was held by the ancient writers, like Plato and Aristotle, seems to be an obsolete sentiment today. Western society, with its busyness and self-centredness, to many people, feels like a cold and lonely place. In this culture of cynicism and malaise Hugh Black directs our attention to the importance of friendship and the blessing that it can be. With elegantly poignant prose, Black draws on ancient writings, poetry and the Scriptures, helping us to rediscover the miracle of genuine friendship and to understand the care and keeping of such treasure. Along the way, Black addresses the challenges and responsibilities associated with friendship including the tragic consequences of eclipsed or wrecked friendships. He defines the limitations of friendship but also highlights the blessings it can bring. In true friendship, accountability and love inspire us to live with more honour, integrity and grace. Ultimately, we see that in Jesus Christ we can have that "higher friendship"-friendship with God himself-which revolutionizes the way we live, the way we think and the things we value. This classic work is an inspiring read

Hugh Black was quoted as saying "The subject of friendship is less thought of among us now than it was in the old world. Marriage has come to mean infinitely more. Communion with God in Christ has become to multitudes the primal fact of life. Nevertheless the need for friendship remains." Friendship was written with young men in mind. This charming little book is full of wisdom Black felt would help young men in their future relationships. Chapters include The Miracle of Friendship, The Culture of Friendship. The Fruits of Friendship, The Choice of Friendship, The Eclipse of Friendship, The Wreck of Friendship, The Renewing of Friendship, The Limits of Friendship, and The Higher Friendship.

1916. From the Introduction: The Great War has put a strain on the resources of human nature, as well as on material resources. Men who have come through the hell of the trenches have discovered some of the secrets of life and death. Many of them have known a reinforcement of spiritual power. It is quite natural that this fact should often be described in emotional form as direct interposition of angels and other supernatural agencies. Among these the most beautiful and tender stories are those of The Comrade in White.
