At the Heart of Friendship

by Kathy Collard Miller

Overview

Friends are gifts from God, but they don't always seem like presents. Thankfully, the Bible talks a lot about relationships and helps us navigate through the ones bringing either joy or challenges.At the Heart of Friendship is an expanded and enlarged version of the original women's Bible study that provides 10 lessons on different aspects of friendship. The focus is on the fascinating interactions in the Bible between Hannah and Penninah, the groom and bride of the Song of Solomon, Mary and Martha, Rachel and Leah, Ruth and Naomi, and many others. Topics cover envy, competition, conflict, mentoring, and relationships with a husband and children-and ultimately a friendship with God.With characteristic depth of questions and insightful commentary, this study in the Daughters of the King Bible Study Series includes the heart-impacting "Letter from God" at the end of each lesson. You'll find this a helpful, encouraging, and enlightening study for yourself or a group of women.

Editorial Reviews

Kathy Collard Miller’s Choices of the Heart is a Bible study full of sound scriptural principles, balanced spiritual wisdom, and a deep understanding of what matters most to women. Miller’s study makes great use of an all-star, all female cast of leaders falling on both sides of the spiritual and moral equation. Her insightful questions invite the reader to reflect on her own life within a scriptural framework—prompting growth from the heart. I can’t wait to use Choices of the Heart with my own women’s Bible study. I’m looking forward to more from Kathy Collard Miller! —Catherine Finger, Ed.D, speaker and author of the Jo Oliver Thriller series

With each lesson, I was invited to recognize that choices of the heart aren’t simple or defined without the grace of God. Each account of women in the Bible in this Bible study lifts a layer of possible misconception, asserts refreshing challenges, and presents applications of God’s Word, bold yet gentle. At times, the reader is tugged to examine the heart and analyze motives. But with each lesson, the exhortation is profoundly clear, leaving a pleasant reassurance that we women today do have much in common with women of the Bible. Yet, we are called to learn from their examples to make godly choices as daughters of the King who dance to the melody of his redeeming love. —Janet Perez Eckles, author of Simply Salsa: Dancing Without Fear at God’s Fiesta

Choices of the Heart from bestselling author Kathy Collard Miller is a must-read for all women who desire to walk in God’s light as they become more like Jesus. This is not only a well-written book, but it is also laid out in such a way that it can be used by both individuals and groups. Highly recommended! —Kathi Macias, multi-award-winning author of more than 50 books, including The Singing Quilt and Return to Christmas, www.kathimacias. com

Kathy Collard Miller thoughtfully addresses choices and attitudes that undermine or set us free. With encouragement and warmth, she helps us choose God’s way and blessing. This exploration of biblical lives and choices can change your life. —Judith Couchman, author of Designing a Woman’s Life book, Bible study, and seminar

As the founder of Modern Day Princess Ministries, I am always looking to recommend resources for women that further the depth of our walk with Christ. The Daughters of the King series by Kathy Collard Miller does exactly that. It enables you to discover the wealth you have in knowing the King of Kings as your Heavenly Father and begin walking in the royalty you possess. —Doreen Hanna, Treasured Celebrations, Founder & President, www.moderndayprincess.net
