The Company We Keep: True Friendship and Why it Matters


Overview

""""""No one has greater love than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."""" John 15:13 What does it mean to live friendship as a Christian? In a culture of fleeting connections and digital noise, The Company We Keep offers a compelling return to the wisdom of Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Gospel, and Christian tradition to rediscover the lost art and meaning of true friendship as a vital part of holiness and disicpleship. Catholic philosopher Michael Pakaluk invites readers to see friendship not as optional, but essential: a moral, spiritual, and deeply human bond that reflects our highest calling. With clarity and warmth, he explores the kinds of friendship that shape our lives- from casual camaraderie to the deep, sacrificial love between spouses, parents, and children. Whether you seek richer relationships, deeper community, or a more meaningful life of faith, this book will challenge and inspire you to choose your company wisely- and to become the kind of friend that is crucial and indispensable in the lives of your loved ones. It is a book about community, growing in love, and following Christ more closely- together. ""
