232 pages ; 23 cm, \"When we step on the gas of our car while trying to pass and 18-wheeler on a two-lane hightay, we don't want an anemic, sluggish response--we want high performance. Similarly, none of us want an anemic, sluggish response from a friend when we are in need of physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual support. Men commonly experience life without deep, meaningful friendships. The aim of this book is to help men achieve high performance friendship. What is high performance friendship? Perhaps the best answer is to provide the litmus tests we apply to our own friendship. To us, a friendship is high performance if both friends: take the opportunity to provide selfless acts on behalf of the other; feel comfortable sharing inner-most thoughts, yet respect the other's private thoughts; trust the other with that which he holds dear; support each other when one falls short or fails, and readily grant forgiveness; appreciate and accept heartfelt constructive criticism; truly celebrate each other's success without jealousy or envy; sustain the relationship in spite of distance or time; refrain from making or tolerating any disparaging remarks about the other, especially behind his back. How can we achieve high performance friendship? Why not consider how Christ treated His male friends during His human experience? Could there be a better possible example? This book provides stories and principles of high performance friendship by drawing on the exemplary manner in which Christ treated His friends during His time on earth.\"--, Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-220) and index, Choose friends wisely -- Humility and honesty -- Respect -- Intimacy -- Support -- Trust and teach -- Love and loyalty -- Independence and inner compass -- Kindness -- Encouragement and eternal values
