'Today friendship has fallen on hard times. Few men have good friends, much less deep friendships. Individualism, autonomy, privitization, and isolation are culturally catchet, but deep, devoted, vulnerable friendship is not. This is a great tragedy for self, family, and the Church, because it is in relationships that we develop into what God wants us to be.'
R Kent Hughes, Disciplines of a Godly Man, p.64.
