"I found my heartbeat in Becky Harling's new book, Cultivating Deeper Connections in a Lonely World. I immediately thought, This is a writer who knows what my life is like! Because I work from home, I often feel isolated, lonely, and physically disconnected from others. Becky's challenges to be vulnerable, less critical, and less sensitive to others' offenses spoke to me. This is a much-needed resource for individuals, church groups, and even the business world. Relationships matter. They cultivate meaning for our lives and effectively help us live out our faith. I highly recommend this book."
JANET HOLM MCHENRY, author of 27 books, including the bestselling Prayer Walk and her newest, Praying Personalities

"Don't read this book if you don't want to take a long hard look at yourself and the things that keep you from connecting with others. Don't read this book if you don't want to learn how to submit your life, preferences, and circumstances to Scripture. Finally, don't read this book if you want to stay lonely or disconnected. For those who do want deeper friendships, practical tips on how to transform your relationships, and an internal shake up, this book is for YOU! Becky Harling has done it again. She's after heart change, radical obedience, and passionate love for God and others. She's after the things that could possibly change our social structure as we know it. If you also want those things, read this book!"
