Is it just me? Am I the only one who’s lonely? Am I the only one without friends? If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, Amy Weatherly and Jess Johnston, founders of the widely popular “Sister, I Am with You,” are raising their hands to say, “Yeah, us too.” And they want to encourage, equip, and reassure you that you have what it takes to build the kind of friendships you want. I’ll Be There (But I’ll Be Wearing Sweatpants) provides you with the how of cultivating deep relationships in this messy, chaotic, beautiful life. Through Amy and Jess’s wisdom, humor, and confessional stories about the ups and downs of sisterhood, you’ll learn how to admit you need friends—then go out and find them, dismantle the lies you’ve believed about friendship, love yourself so you can find people who will love you for you, be a good friend even though you can’t be a perfect one, and heal from a friend breakup—and find the courage to try again. It’s time you felt completely accepted as you are—from the top of your messy bun to the tips of your unpedicured toes. Let’s start making friendships a priority—together.

"I need my computer ...I have to check my inbox...I've been looking for this person...www.facebook.com" Have you ever thought about why social networking has spread like a virus throughout our world? It's one thing to say that we like being in close relationships, but to see the rapid spread of social networking, in specific "Facebook", shows that something is truly missing in our culture today. Why has social networking become so popular in today's age? What are our lives honestly about? Is there anything in the world today that can help us get back our true identities? In his latest book, Damian reveals what can help us in finding our identities, accepting the truth about who we are, and living out our identities in a world that's lost what it means to truly be yourself. Chapters include "Your Face," "Notifications," and "The Ultimate Friend Request: Confirm Now or Hide.." "Using the similes of social networking and Facebook relationships, this book lays out for you the grander scheme of who you are, how to release your creativity, and how to experience the dynamic, eternal relationship with the face of God through his son, Jesus Christ...You might experience the same magnetic passion for life that characterizes the life of Damian."
