Reviewer: Kandace Perry

The Friendship Initiative Book - 31 Days of Loving and Connecting Like Jesus by Amberly Neese is filled with insightful and relatable life experiences.

Amberly draws you in with her heartfelt approach to sharing the Gospel and ways we can draw strength and guidance from it. Each daily devotional is short and to the point but in a way that leaves you pondering your own experiences and appreciating how down to earth and honest Amberly is.

Her writings encourage us to be authentic in our own experiences (good or bad) and in our personal relationships with the Lord.
