The Better Friend

Tired of one-sided friendships that still leave you feeling lonely? Make the shift to life-giving friendships.

“Grace Valentine teaches us how to nurture the meaningful, healthy friendships we all long for and deserve.”—Ashley Morgan Jackson, bestselling author of Tired of Trying

Friendships should build us up, not leave us scrambling to prove our worth. But in a culture obsessed with popularity—it’s easy to settle for shallow friendships that take more than they give. 

The good news is that meaningful friendships with sisters you can lean on anytime are possible. Author, podcast host, and speaker Grace Valentine shows you how this is possible with twelve powerful truths to help you rethink the way you connect with others. As someone who has been in the low-lows and high-highs of friendships—from saying goodbye to friendships that were stuck or one-sided, to uprooting her whole life and starting over in finding community, to nurturing long-distance friendships—Valentine knows what it takes to make good friends and to be a good friend. 

When you build better friends—with people who help you become the best version of yourself in every way—you become better, get to know God better, and experience confidence in who He made you to be. As you do, you’ll discover the joy that comes from being a blessing to others and shining the love of Christ to those around you. Whether you’re ready to level up your current friendships or start fresh, The Better Friend gives you the tools you need to build life-giving connections for any season.
