About
The modern world, with its emphasis on speed and busyness and the mis-named "social" media, has not been an especially welcoming place to develop long-lasting, solid friendships that help to nurture the heart.
Providing exemplars and guidance in this challenging situation, this book on friendship looks at some of the details of the friendships of the eighteenth-century pastor-theologian Andrew Fuller to help us think about and engage in meaningful relationships that provide joy and comfort (in the older sense of that term as "strength") for the Christian journey.
This is an ideal study for anyone desirous of being a better friend, as well as for those interested in knowing something of the history of Christian friendship. Michael A.G. Haykin is Professor of Church History & Biblical Spirituality at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Haykin has a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Toronto (1974), a Master of Religion from Wycliffe College, the University of Toronto (1977), and a Th.D. in Church History from Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto (1982). Haykin is also the author of numerous books. He and his wife, Alison, have two grown children, Victoria and Nigel.
