Heart Sisters – Book Review
During my life, I have been blessed by the friendship of many wonderful women who have shared life’s joyful moments with me and have stood by my side during the midst of life’s trials.
At times, though, I have struggled through difficult moments in my relationships with women. Some of my friendships have weathered the storms that have darkened the horizon at different times in my life. Sadly, others have not.
These days, as I reflect on my female friendships past and present, there are several questions that constantly cross my mind:
- How can I be a better friend to the women God has placed in my life?
- How can I establish healthy boundaries in my relationships?
- How can I be honest without hurting others in the midst of conflict?’
- How do I know when the time has come to end a friendship?
If you have ever experienced conflict in the midst of a friendship that you value – if you want to improve the quality of your female relationships – if you want to learn how to be a better friend to others – than Heart Sisters – Be The Friend You Want To Have by Natalie Chambers Snapp is a book that you must read!
Heart Sisters is a newly released book from Abingdon Press that I wish was written long ago as the wisdom that Natalie imparts in this book could have saved a lot of heartache – and perhaps a friendship or two!
In Heart Sisters – a biblically based book – Natalie shares her own stories as well as the stories of others to illustrate what works and what doesn’t in relationships with women.
She tackles all of the topics you would hope to read about – the value of girlfriends, how to get right with God and others, how to be honest and tactful in our relationships, how to handle conflict, and how to forgive when the need arises.
She also tackles a few timely topics that might surprise you, such as friendship etiquette in a digital world – how to raise daughters who will be good friends – and how to be a “heart sister” in the workplace or when we are involved in ministry.
Heart Sisters is perfect to read alone and then to share with a friend or study group – there are questions at the end of each chapter that would lead to insightful discussions.
Heart Sisters is a heartfelt book that illustrates why we need girlfriends in our life and shows us that the foundation for a lasting friendship begins with us.
I highly recommend this book to you!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.

This sounds like a great book. I think it’s easy to criticise the people around us and see fault in their actions, especially when they hurt us or let us down. But a friendship goes both ways and we could probably all do with being a better friend sometimes 🙂 particularly in a manner that brings glory to God and not to us! (I can just about hear my pride saying what a wonderful friend I am…)
