Discover the gift of friendship!

In a time when many women feel lonely and isolated, Girls' Club calls us to embrace the delight and comfort that can be found in life-giving friendships with women - and to cultivate relationships that not only offer emotional affirmation and acceptance, but also inspire, educate, and stretch us to live out our God-given potential.

Told through stories and encouragement based on the authors' experiences - Sally, a seasoned mother and well-beloved author; her daughter Sarah, an Oxford scholar and new mother; and her youngest daughter, Joy, a professional young woman pursuing her doctorate - Girls' Club will speak to the importance of cultivating deep and lasting friendship at every stage in life.

Join Sally, Sarah, and Joy as they explore the power, difficulties, potential, beauty, and satisfaction of friendships that help us live purposeful, Godly lives and that satisfy our longing for meaningful and intimate companionship.

This was such an enjoyable listen with many valuable lessons and insights. Really enjoyed it

Beautiful book

I've never had many friends or truly valued life in general. Becoming a Christian through the grace of Jesus Christ has opened my eyes and heart to how dull I've been. I'm nearly 31 and have so much regret for the apathetic way I have lived. I'm beginning to reevaluarte relationships and how to lovingly initiate and maintain them. I've had an extremely distant and uncomfortable relationship with my own mom my entire life. it's enchanting to imagine the hope that through initiation and love that I could potentially have a revived relationship with her. This book is encouraging and leaves me hopeful for any good I can give the world and hopeful that God will provide friendships along the way as I finally bloom into womanhood. I've always thought of myself as a little girl who could never just "be a woman" like most women seem to be. But I see it's a practice, a discipline, a string of small choices made throught the day. Please pray for me and my journey to grow and mature in the love of Jesus Christ.
In response to reading some reviews:
Yes, the Clarkson's life may seem a little fairytale to some people and not "relevant" to the struggle of the masses. But, fundamentally, they write with humility, grace, and admittance of their own personal struggles amidst the traveling, conferencing, and delighting. Although I couldn't expect to live this kind of life, I deeply grasped the principle of the messages beautiful woven with scriptures and intimate experiences. Clarkson family, I am so grateful for your life and everything you have experienced and shared. Please, keep the Girl Club and tea time rolling. Your lives are the fruit of great love deeply rooted in the reality of Jesus Christ and the call to something bigger than yourselves. I've never had hope until I encountered the love of Jesus Christ and it's encouraging to see His example through your lives and writing.

Loved this book on Cultivating Friendships!!!

This book is full of so many helpful points of how to be a friend. Woven throughout are stories of how they processed friendship in their lives. They had times of success and failure but never gave up on wanting to have deeper and more full lives and community. I love what one said about if you want to change the world, start right where you are, start with your neighbors.

Great stories & encouragement to value friendship!

Buck encouraged me to value friendships with women in an age of increasing isolation and loneliness. I reminded me that a few close friendships are better than a thousand shallow ones, and gave great stories and insight into cultivating and deepening lasting friendships.
