Iron Sharpens Iron: Friendship and the Grace of God

by Michael A.G. Haykin

With its emphasis on speed and busyness and the mis-named “social” media, the modern world has not been an especially welcoming place to develop long-lasting, solid friendships that nurture the heart. Providing exemplars and guidance in this challenging situation, this book on friendship looks at some of the details of the friendships of the eighteenth-century pastor-theologians Andrew Fuller and John Ryland to help us think about and engage in meaningful relationships that provide joy and strength for the Christian journey.

This is an ideal study for anyone desirous of being a better friend as well as those interested to know something of the history of Christian friendship.
