Everyone wants a friend. Everyone needs a friend. Friends support us, understand us, and lend a sympathetic ear or hand when needed. They are the ones with whom we can let down our guard and be ourselves. In "Why We are Friends," Gregory E. Lang celebrates the joys and blessings of friendship. Friends "can have fun doing almost anything or just hanging out and doing nothing," he writes. Sometimes we seek out friendship, other times it come to us unexpectedly. Either way, we are always the better for finding a true friend. Each is unique, and although one can never replace another, somehow we always seem to find room in our hearts for just one more. When you call another person "friend," you pay him or her your highest compliment. "Why We are Friends" is a gift book that one friend can give to another to say, "I value you, and I am thankful you're in my life. I hope I have been as good a friend to you as you have been to me."
YOU HEAR MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY HAVE MARRIED THEIR BEST FRIEND, BUT HOW MANY TRULY HAVE? I FOR ONE HAVE THAT RARE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE A LIFE WITH A WOMAN I LOVE AND WHO IS MY BEST FRIEND. WE OFTEN WEAR DIFFERENT HATS, MORE FRIENDS, MORE PARTNERS, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT A GREAT COMBINATION IT IS. THIS BOOK "WHY WE ARE FRIENDS" ALLOWS ME TO EXPAND ON SOME OF THE REASONS WHY WE BECAME FRIENDS IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND MAKES ME LOOK AT AREAS I HADN'T THOUGHT OF BEFORE. THIS BOOK ALLOWS ME TO TAKE ONE REASON EACH DAY AND CONVEY THE MEANING TO MY BEST FRIEND AND PARTNER EACH DAY. TO NEVER TAKE YOUR LOVED ONE AND/OR BEST FRIEND FOR GRANTED, OR EACH DAY WE HAVE ON THIS EARTH, THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO WORK ON KEEPING THE FRIENDSHIP AND THE RELATIONSHIP ALIVE, ELECTRIC, AND WELL. IT GIVES US SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT, AND WE LOVE GOING THROUGH EACH REASON ONE AT A TIME. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY ME.

Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (5/07) Gregory L. Lang created a book that would make any recipient of it be touched forever. The 100 reasons that Lang gives are thought-provoking, meaningful, and most of all touch the inner being. The author also included photographs to depict friendship and complement the reason. Each statement starts out with "We Are Friends Because," and the reason is given. For example, "We Are Friends Because, like me, you show your affection for those you love. We Are Friends Because we play well together, and it doesn't matter who wins. We Are Friends Because you help me stay in a healthy state of mind." This is a wonderful gift book to be given to special people in your life. Friends will appreciate receiving "Why We Are Friends" because, in turn the friend will realize how grateful you are for the friendship. I encourage you to consider this book. Your friends will be touched by the compliment you give them.
