Freundschaft, die uns im Leben trägt

A wise tribute to friendship. The perfect gift for your best friend and a great guide for anyone longing for true friendship - written by bestselling author Margot Kässmann based on her many years of experience as a counselor. Friendship is one of life's major themes. Those who have truly good friends know how to appreciate them. They give us strength and are a precious treasure! Margot Kässmann also consciously maintains many long-lasting friendships with people who have stood by her during times of crisis and who celebrate life and togetherness with her time and again. Trust, reliability, shared experiences, and the time to grow together are the prerequisites for a successful relationship. Margot Kässmann writes about the give and take, the unexpectedly joyful, the fascinating and enriching aspects of good friendships. She also addresses the disappointment when one has a concern and is rejected by the other - and the mourning of lost friendships. She emphasizes the importance of nurturing friendships alongside a partnership and what distinguishes acquaintances from friends. The precious time of beautiful experiences and the fear for friends when crises and illness arise. Recognizing false friends and setting boundaries is also discussed. In doing so, Margot Kässmann names good role models for friendships - historically, in literature and film - and, of course, very personally. Biblical examples like Elizabeth and Mary, David and Jonathan, or Jesus himself and his disciples show what truly matters. And in the end, there are ten concrete suggestions for fostering good friendships.
