"If you're lonely, you're not alone! Even in today's "reach out and touch" society, more and more people - busy, successsful, sociable people - feel cut off, disconnected, out of step with others and with themselves. The true stories that make up this book were milestones in the author's journey from isolation to community - from haunting estrangement to a deeper, more vital connection with others. In a sense, Friends and Stranges is about loneliness - how we become cut off from other people and estranged from ourselves. Moe important, it is about the precious gift of other people, friends and stranges alike, and the contributions they make in our lives. For it is through our chance encounters and our everyday relationships that we grow into our real selves. And it is often those we meet in life's lonely places that show us the face of Christ.--adapted from cover.
