- Summary:
- "In Friendship Can Save the World, Carrie and Morgan Stephens offer an invigorating retelling of Ruth, Boaz, and Naomi to help us love people unlike us. Weaving the Book of Ruth with real life stories from their multiethnic, multigenerational, and socioeconomically diverse church, they highlight the power of unique friendships in God's greater missional story. Readers will find inspiration to love and be loved more courageously as we all forge a path forward into a more redemptive future. Friendship Can Save the World is for people longing to build and nurture strong, godly friendships with those of different backgrounds. It offers hope and encouragement for ministry and secular leaders seeking to foster mutual love and honor in the culture of their church or organization"-- Provided by publisher.
