Spiritual Friendship

Review 'There is much to be admired in Aelred's work: the glimpse into his heart, the realistic descriptions of situations and human behavior, the still-valid psychological insights and practical counsels, the balanced view of man's nature, and, in some instances, a delightful sense of humor combined with occasional teasing' --Church History Product Description Throughout his life, Aelred took great joy in his friends and he believed that by loving and being loved by them, we learn to accept and return God's infinitely greater and enduring love. Real friendship always includes a third person, the Lord Jesus.
