America's favorite inspirational novelist and #1 New York Times bestselling author offers a richly told tale about six of Jesus' closest friends and companions, bringing biblical truths to life in this captivating continuation of her Life-Changing Bible Study series. In our everyday lives, friends are the people whom we spend the most time with, go through struggles with at times, and who know us best. Each of Jesus' friends - Peter, John, Matthew, Judas, Mary Magdalene, and Lazarus - traveled with Jesus and were part of His daily ministry, and each has a compelling story to tell. There were some who would question or doubt Him...and one would even betray Him. Kingsbury brings these fascinating personalities to life in ways that will not only help bring you closer to the truths found in Scripture, but also to Christ. By combining valuable, instructive Bible study with compelling, insightful character sketches of Jesus' companions, Kingsbury provides you with a deeper understanding of the scriptural teachings featuring these fascinating people. Emotionally powerful, thought-provoking, and soulful, The Friends of Jesus will help you to appreciate the Bible and understand how it applies to your relationships with the most important people in your life.
Honestly, we ALL are. These are only a few of many! I enjoyed most the characters of Mary Magdalene and Peter. With the facts given to her from the Bible, Kingsbury take biblical facts from those times as well as her imagination and combines them, to give us a look at the characters of some of Jesus friends. The Family of Jesus is also good and a treasured favorite of mine. Read them both! The discussion questions in the back take us even deeper into the characters who were a part of Jesus life.

Excellent story. I heard 1 chapter at a Bible study and knew I wanted the book. Each story stands alone.
