“God never intended for us to go through life alone. And though we know this truth, we find ourselves alive during an interesting time in history. Social media enables us to be ‘friends’ with people we’ve never actually met. Connected 24-7 via the internet, studies have shown people are more lonely and isolated than ever before. In many ways we have lost the art and skill of making friends and being a good friend. In All My Friends Have Issues, Amanda guides us with thoughtful steps of how to form and maintain healthy friendships with actual people in real time. Written with personal examples, principles from Scripture, and relatable topics, this book is needed and necessary. Highly practical and enjoyable to read, Amanda’s style is warm, funny, authentic, and relatable.”
