TRUE FRIENDSHIP Where Virtue Becomes Happiness By JOHN CUDDEBACK

Description

We all want true friends. But how many of us really know what friendship is, or where to find it? In these pages, philosopher John Cuddeback weaves together the timeless wisdom of Scripture, of the ancient Greeks, and of the saints to map out the steep and beautiful path to man’s greatest joy–true friendship. Following Aristotle’s teachings on the unbreakable connection between happiness and  virtuous living, Cuddeback sees friendship at the very center of the human drama. Although there are different kinds of friendship, the deepest kind can only be achieved through a life of virtue, and this is where the human person comet most fully alive. This book offers simple yet rich advice on how to tap into this reality in our own lives. Such friendship demands much of us, but it gives us even more, as individuals and as a society. Paper.
