What if friendship were the force that makes the world go round. What if friendship were the solution to the loneliness so evident in the rates of suicide in our modern society. What if friendship were the real intimacy being sought after in our culture of sex-of sexual extravagance. In short, what if friendship were the key that unlocked the secret door of the universe unleashing a transcendent form of love that only God can give. This book offers you that key.
This book not only points out that friendship in its full classical splendor is a good thing that can rectify many evils of our culture of sex but also argues that friendship is a way of life. Moving through the classical Graeco-Roman pleasurable, useful and virtuous friendships and then mining through Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, the author offers the modern world a profound new understanding of friendship: supernatural perfect friendship.
With a collab-chapter on social media and friendship by the author's very own supernatural perfect friend, the author paints a never before seen picture of friendship. It ranges from the ideal model of supernatural perfect friendship to tension between friends, including why there should be any tension at all, to the sexualization of friendship in modern culture; on to how and why we should expect the whole spectrum of sexual preferences and expressions we see today given the classical and traditional understanding of man to the law of friendship and finally the proposal and covenant between those whom God has appointed to be special supernatural friends. The author also offers unique insights in each chapter on the human lips. He argues that the lips' two acts of speaking and kissing are absolutely essential to human happiness and flourishing in general as well as to friendship in particular.
The Kiss of Friendship is a seamless argument for the superiority of a culture of friendship over a culture of sex. And it proposes that supernatural perfect friendship is a way of life, a vocation to be discerned, a calling from God that must be answered. For those overwhelmed with and disheartened by the sexual life of whatever preference, The Kiss of Friendship gives a new way of fulfilling your sexuality.
