Description

The value of a true friend seems a unanimous declaration: a friend is " someone who knows all about you and still loves you" (Elbert Hubbard) and " the most precious of all possessions" (La Rochefoucauld); friendship is " a single soul dwelling in two bodies" (Aristotle), " the only cement that will ever hold the world together" (Woodrow Wilson).

And yet, the statement that gets at the heart of Ugarte' s book Deep Friendship belongs to Plutarch, who says: " A constant friend is a thing rare and hard to find." This is especially true in today' s world, in which we are constantly surrounded by people, but seldom experience deep friendship. The concept and value of friendship has become, more than ever, a rare treasure. What seems a simple task- that of finding a true friend who cares, respects, and deeply appreciates you- can be harder than expected.

In his book, Deep Friendship, Ugarte shares not only how to find a good friend, but how to be one. These attributes of true friendship lead to great benefits, including a more genuine happiness and a greater union with God.
