I once heard that there is a difference between friendly people and friends. We all need someone we can count on, and we should be someone others can count on. As odd as the title may sound, this book shares about both sides of friendship.

Using humor and the Bible, Eddie James and Tommy Woodard tell about looking for real friends and being one yourself. They draw from their long time friendship and give you things to do when you are looking for a friend and ways to build friendships.

This is a great book for those that want to work on relationships in a godly way.

I received a free copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I love these guys and their skits on Facebook. Have found myself watching some over and over.
I was delighted to be able to read their book on friendship. In this digital age, the art of friendship is sadly falling by the wayside with people not actually knowing HOW to be a good friend - the isolation of the pandemic has not aided our social skills much either.
Eddie & Tommy take lessons from their friendship and use it to illustrate various points and highlight the Do's and the Don't's of friendships.
A great Christmas present idea for yourself; a loved one or a teenager struggling to find their way in the minefield of friendship.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me the chance to read this book.

In the book Smells Like Bacon, comedians, authors and friends Eddie James and Tommy Woodard, write about their friendship and the lessons they have learned through the years. Through their quirky, humorous and conversational style, The Skit Guys give insights and patterns for building life-long, deep friendships. Through the ups and downs of life and the pressures of ministry, they have weathered the storms and even learned to hug! (Well, one of them did)
I have been a fan of The Skit Guys for years and I learned a lot about their relationship in this book which only deepened my respect for them and their ministry. I would highly recommend this book. I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Skit Guys are just as funny, inspiring and relatable in writing. I liked the practical relationship advice and examples and the easy to read format.

I had never heard of this comedy duo called The Skit Guys, but they are pretty funny. In their book, they use their own style of humor as a guide for making and keeping friends. To further the concept, they apply it to matters of faith. Tommy Woodard and Eddie James have been best friends since high school. It seems they were encouraged by their youth pastor, to use their unique friendship to write and perform skits for their youth group.
Now, ever since high-school, they've been writing and performing funny and meaningful skits live around the world and on camera. What a great story!

Here we have a book about the power of friendships and how to build friendships that last.
Within the text is conversation banter as if they were performing live.

Here are some of the topics they have for us…

Who needs friends?
Let's-Dig-in-the-Dirt Friends
Awkward things not to say to potential friends
Crying at the movie Beaches
How to BE a good friend;
What to look for in friends--and what to avoid;
How to handle difficult situations in friendship
Why God makes a great friend

I think readers will enjoy the fun quizzes, random stories, and references to bacon in this fun and inspiring book.
