What makes a good friend? Is there a recipe? What is certain, is that there is nothing quite like friendship. Much research has been done into the benefits of friendships and how they enrich our lives. In fact, studies show that ‘people who eat unhealthily, smoke, drink and lack exercise but have strong friendships, live significantly longer than those who look after themselves physically but are socially isolated – it really is better to eat kebabs with friends than a salad on your own’.

Why not visit us and purchase a card or gift for your friend or check out Phil Knox’s book ‘The Best of Friends’: with humour and wisdom, Phil Knox offers ‘practical advice to show us how to choose our friends wisely and maintain lasting, meaningful relationships’.

‘May we celebrate and cultivate one of God’s Greatest gifts to us. And may we experience the best of friends, be the best of friends and know the Best Friend of them all’. (Phil Knox author of ‘The Best of Friends’ ISBN 9781789744248)
