Wisdom On … Friends, Dating, and Relationships

by Mark Matlock

From being a good friend to dating relationships to handling conflicts in your everyday life, Wisdom On … Friends, Dating, and Relationships combines the insights of Proverbs with real-life examples and experiences within short, quick chapters that make it easy to apply wisdom to every decision you make. Relationships are a huge part of your life—and when they go wrong for whatever reason, it can be heart wrenching. In this addition to the Wisdom On … series, author Mark Matlock mixes stories based on his own experiences with breakdowns of the book of Proverbs to help you keep your friendships and dating relationships healthy, as well as better interact with your family and the people you see every day. While there is no magic formula, the short chapters on making and keeping friends, the friendships to value, tips on what to look out for in friends and potential romantic partners—as well as interactive activities and personal inventories to help you apply each chapter directly to your life — give you tools to avoid unnecessary conflicts and become wise in managing each relationship you have.

My mom lent me this book, saying she wanted me to read it. I thought it was a really sweet gesture, which is probably the big reason why I liked this book. Anyways, it's short and sweet. Good for young girls and boys.
