  Desperate Woman Seeks Friends

  $19.99

  If you’ve ever been tempted to put a sign in your front yard advertising for new friends, scream or sob in frustration over a “friend’s” hot and cold behavior, or cringe at the memory of awkward friendship encounters, you can trust Kristen Strong’s decades of experience at regularly relocating and remaking friends to provide both solid hope and practical direction to try again to find the friends you need.

  In Desperate Woman Seeks Friends, Kristen Strong offers her two decades of experience as a regularly relocating military spouse and one decade as a settled civilian to address head on the crisis facing women today in startling numbers: an acute loneliness and isolation due to a lack of friends and community.

  Often, social media will give a band-aid for loneliness, but looking to social media to be your only source of friendship is like relying on breadcrumbs as a steady diet for dinner: it won’t nourish or satisfy. Unless some of those online connections turn into real-life ones, they’re no substitute for in-person friendships.

  Research shows friends are as important for our overall welfare as healthy eating habits and a good night’s sleep, and Kristen gives you a game plan for getting your friendship groove back. Chapters include:

  *Boundaries are our friends and our friends’ friends
  *What you can expect will kill friendships
  *I love my friend to pieces, but I don’t love her views on ____________
  *When a friendship ends without your say-so
  *Rejection sucks, but don’t let it suck you down
  *Your top-notch tool for building your friendships
  *Making friends by opening up
  *Your Friend who never fails in friendships

  It’s not just you. Making friends is hard! But it’s not impossible. Through tell-it-like-it-is talk and vulnerable stories, Kristen wants to help you be a good friend to others and to yourself through principles and practices that give life to your friendships. And she wants to show you that while friends may fail you, your Friend Jesus never will. You’re meant to have lasting friendships that feed your heart and soul–you are not the exception.

  In a season of loneliness? Take comfort in the stories of other women who share their own honest experiences of feeling isolated, struggling to find friends, and still finding a meaningful way through.

  With the current crisis of loneliness and lack of friendships in today’s culture, this 90-day devotional offers both lived perspective and attainable promise for how to find community and friends.

  Compiled by beloved author, Kristen Strong, who offers her two decades of experience as a constantly relocating military spouse and one decade as a settled civilian to address head on the rising pain point facing women today in startling numbers: an acute loneliness and isolation due to a lack of friends.

  Praying Through Loneliness is a compilation of stories from many women in all stages of life written to let you know that you are:

  *Not alone in your sadness, frustration, or sense of rejection
  *Not alone when you feel jealous of other women’s friendships
  *Not alone in the pain of a friendship breakup

  *Not alone in your need to know that the Lord sees you in your loneliness, has a purpose for you during it, and won’t abandon you as you walk through it

  Praying Through Loneliness doesn’t skip over the sadness and hardship loneliness brings. It doesn’t offer trite advice or give spiritual formulas to shortcut the slow work of friendship. Instead, it offers an empathetic and hopeful accompaniment in the dark night you are walking through.

  Each daily devotional includes:

  *Scripture verse

  *Vulnerable story where questions and regret are seen through the eyes of Jesus who is always walking beside you

  *Hopeful message

  *Meaningful prayer references for encouragement

  Spend the next 90 days with come-alongside friends and the God who has said from the beginning that it is not good for us to be alone; let them lift your burden of loneliness.

  When Change Finds You

  $18.99

  When difficult or unwanted change enters our lives, it can cause fear, anxiety, and anger to bubble up from within. We want to quiet that simmering stress, but how do we do that, especially when we know our circumstances aren’t going to calm down any time soon? By regularly meeting with God and exchanging our worries and fears for his assurances that he is using our difficult change for us, not against us.

  Easier said than done? Not if you have Kristen Strong alongside you as your understanding guide. Offering thoughtful, humorous anecdotes and powerful prayers to recite, Strong invites you to think and feel differently about change on the inside so you can live and love differently on the outside. As the tender companion she is, Kristen will show you how not to get over difficult change but rather to get through it. She’ll help you acknowledge your change, give your anxieties over to God, and abide well in the days to come–no matter what transitions life brings.
