Are you lonely? Do you struggle to find the real friends you long for? Here is your invitation to build lasting friendship through meaningful and intentional practices that anyone can do. The older we get, the less we find ourselves spending time in the company of good friends. Organic friendship becomes nearly impossible—after all, there are all sorts of obligations tugging at our attention. Or we find ourselves getting frustrated with shallow, draining conversations. Or, most painful of all, we feel like no one wants us—and who wants to be rejected? If you have found yourself desperately wanting connection but confused about why you are not experiencing it, you are not alone. And you don’t have to stay there. As Christian women, our faith calls us to support one another on the path of growing as a follower of Jesus—a call that will connect us, create a solid foundation for trust, and bind us together in Jesus’ love, no matter what struggles we face on the road of friendship. Together Is a Beautiful Place offers practical habits that are sustainable, deep, and valuable. You will identify what makes a godly, lasting friendship; tackle lies and false expectations about what it takes to build lasting friendship; and learn to tackle the barriers to friendship and invite healthy friendship rhythms. You will find that it is possible to grow healthy friendships, starting now.

Born in 1928 in the small coastal town of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Genevieve "Sister" Peterkin grew up with World War II bombing practice in her front yard, deep-sea fishing expeditions, and youthful rambles through the lowcountry. She shared her bedroom with a famous ghost and an impatient older sister. But most of all she listened. She absorbed the tales of her talented mother and her beloved friend, listened to the stories of the region's older residents, some of them former slaves, who were her friends, neighbors, and teachers. In this new edition she once again shares with readers her insider's knowledge of the lowcountry plantations, gardens, and beaches that today draw so many visitors. Beneath the humor, hauntings, and treasures of local history, she tells another, deeper story—one that deals with the struggle for racial equality in the South, with the sometimes painful adventures of marriage and parenthood, and with inner struggles for faith and acceptance. This edition includes a new foreword by coastal writer and researcher Lee G. Brockington and a new afterword by coauthor and lowcountry novelist William P. Baldwin.

This book takes you on my personal journey through one of the world's most rigid religions: Jehovah's Witnesses. From my early childhood, I share my experiences within this tightly controlled world, where later in life, I began to question and confront my inner struggles. You will gain a unique insight into the faith that promised us that God would soon intervene and that we, his devoted followers, would be rewarded with a paradisiacal existence. But this utopia demands sacrifices - strict obedience to rules and shielding oneself from many worldly temptations. For a child in this isolated community, life is already a challenge, but growing up and finding one's way to adulthood brings new obstacles. Do I doubt everything I've been taught? Do I want to continue down this path? Is escape even an option? If so, what price must I pay? What follows is an emotional journey that begins at a young age. Voicing my doubts would mean being ostracized from my community. Family and friends could turn their backs on me. Literally everything is at stake. Ultimately, I face a pivotal choice: Do I remain trapped in this world, or do I choose freedom? Whichever path I take, it will forever change my life.
