In the midst of their active lives, Faehnle and Jaminet found themselves missing their old friends and searching for new ones. They also realized that they needed to continually work to develop deep, meaningful relationships that would allow them to be themselves, to care for others and be cared for, and to deepen their Catholic faith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Friendship Project\u003c\/i\u003e, Faehnle and Jaminet explore the cardinal and theological virtues with an eye toward friendship. Focusing on faith, hope, love, prudence, gratitude, loyalty, generosity, and prayerfulness, they help us answer questions such as, \"What does it mean to be women of hope, and how does that change our lives and make us more compassionate friends during difficult times?\" and \"How does prayerfulness teach us how to listen to and talk with both God and our friends, which helps us reach out to those we love?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Faehnle and Jaminet answer these questions and more by employing Church teaching and telling us stories of their own friendships and those from the lives of saints and biblical women--including the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Elizabeth, St. Th r se of Lisieux and her sister Servant of God L onie, and Sts. Perpetua and Felicity. Not only will you be drawn closer to friends both new and old but you'll also be reminded how these friendships--and the virtues you practice to nurture them--draw you closer to God. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Prayers, discussion questions, and a study guide make this a perfect resource for women's groups\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichele Faehnle\u003c\/b\u003e is a contributor to \u003ci\u003eCatholicMom.com\u003c\/i\u003e, codirector of the Columbus Catholic Women's Conference, and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eDivine Mercy for Moms\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Friendship Project\u003c\/i\u003e.
