Chatting With Lisa Whelchel about “Friendship for Grown-ups” + a Giveaway!!

July 21, 2010 by Laura 380 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

This post wraps up my interview time with Lisa. If you missed them, be sure to catch the rest of the interview posts:

  • Chatting with Lisa about raising little ones
  • Chatting with Lisa about raising teenagers
  • Chatting with Lisa about marriage

Here is the final question I asked…

Me:

I’ve been reading your newest book, Friendship for Grown-ups. I’ve really enjoyed how you’ve opened up and shared your story and your struggles with being real and honest about your feelings and needs with your friends.

Why do you think women are so afraid to be real and open and vulnerable with other women about their struggles and sins?

Lisa:

We feel like we’re supposed to be perfect like Jesus. We act like everything is fine because we think it’s the right thing to do. We feel like we’re letting God down if we admit failure. But when we do this, we miss out on connection and grace. Are we trying to earn salvation through works, or are we accepting that we are sinners who need grace?

Laura’s follow-up thoughts…and also, let me tell you about Lisa’s new book…and also, maybe you could even win a copy! ;)

whelchel 

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Lisa Whelchel’s latest book, Friendship for Grown-ups! I anticipated that it would be a book to encourage moms to maintain great friendships as we raise our kids. Yeah, I was wrong. It really didn’t have anything to do with maintaining my friendships while I’m raising my kids. This book really is about what true and godly friendship is all about, no matter what season you are in your life.

Friendship for Grown-ups is about breaking down walls. It’s about being real. It’s about setting boundaries. It’s about being a friend and accepting friendship. It’s about being open and honest.

Oh my, is it ever about being honest. Being honest with yourself, and being honest with the people God puts in your life to love on you. Lisa shares some of her biggest struggles through her years as a child star and how that shaped who she became as an adult. Through the years, Lisa built some gignormous walls that were ever so hard to break down. But she…

Wait a second.  I think I’m saying too much. I think I should stop and just really, really recommend that you read Friendship for Grown-ups. 

As Lisa shares her story in her latest book, you’ll find that you get to know her on a much more personal level. While reading this book, I felt like Lisa became my friend, even as she taught me what godly friendship should be about. That happens when someone opens up and shares from the deep, painful places in her heart. That’s exactly what Lisa did. You will be blessed by reading her story and by hearing how God worked in her life and gently led her into whole and healthy friendships.

I just so happen to have five copies of Friendship for Grown-ups to share!! (Well, I actually have six copies but one of them is mine and I’m keeping it to re-read another few times during the next few years!!)

    I would love a copy, as well. This is a major convo topic in my life. We move b/c of my husband’s job CONSTANTLY! (Just moved for the 6th time in 10 years, and I HATE it.) It’s hard to start over in every new place, and I find myself desperately trying to hold onto friends I’ve made all over the country. That’s even why I started blogging – so that everyone could follow along and still feel honestly & genuinely connected to us, even across the miles. I have one other friend in the same boat with moving around, and we are always talking about how to nurture the friendships we have & keep them alive, as well as how hard it is to make friendships in each new place.

I’d love to win this book and read Lisa’s take on the subject as it’s a goal of mine to become more authentic with everyone in my life. BTW, I just received my Azure Standard catalog today because I learned about them from YOU! Thank you! Can’t wait to place my first order. :-)

    I think myself as well as the ladies of my entire church are followers of your blog and on FB. I am encouraged every day by your humor, the way you allow others to relate to you just by being real. It’s so hard to make friends, godly friends as an army wife. We move, we travel ect. I’ve found that as a mom of 3, a homeschooling mom, a Christian, and a 29 yr old in many ways, I’m just starting to learn about who I really am and what works for our family. I’m so excited for the chance to win a copy of this book…what a great read it will be!
