Sacred Unions, Sacred Passions: Engaging the Mystery of Friendship Between Men and Women

In just a short book, Dan Brennan makes a strong case for throwing out almost everything you’ve learned from the evangelical church about cross-gender friendships outside of marriage. While at times it felt like he was trying to stretch his material enough to make it book-length, his argument resonates with me. It’s worth considering how much more our own lives (and the church!) would flourish if these friendships were encouraged rather than dismissed.
