Here's what we've been reading this week online:

Paul Tripp had a great post on being a better friend. He said, "But no matter how many friends you have and how many moments you've shared, everyone reading this post shares one thing in common: we have never had, and have never been, a perfect friend." He goes on to list several ways to improve friendship. I'm sharing this because of  what we've written on the subject and thought this would be a good way to round things up.

Trevin Wax had a post on parenting. Trevin interviewed J.D. Greer about his parenting resource Ready to Launch: Jesus-Centered Parenting in a Child-Centered World" This is the kind of resource a church can use to help train parents on their God-given responsibility. I've (Pat) read the book and recommend it parents. This can be used in small group settings as well as for large groups.

Scott Kedersha had another great post on marriage. This time he writes on the number of marriage books out there. He says, "But, the best marriage book I’ve ever read can’t even touch the lessons I see in real life in other couples." This is yet another reason we need community.
