Are you feeling exhausted with friendships that leave you drained and alone? It’s time to make meaningful connections that truly enrich your life.

In her inspiring and practical book, author, speaker, and podcast host Grace Valentine reveals 12 powerful truths designed to help you build and nurture the fulfilling, supportive friendships you deserve. Grace understands firsthand both the painful lows and joyful highs that friendships can bring—she has walked away from relationships that were superficial or one-sided, bravely started over to build a new community, and put in the effort needed to keep long-distance friendships thriving.

Friendships are meant to encourage you, to help you grow, and to remind you of your value—not to make you constantly prove yourself. But in today’s popularity-driven world, settling for surface-level friendships often leaves people feeling empty and tired. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Through honest insight, relatable experiences, and real-world advice, Grace will empower you to genuinely connect with people who lift you up and encourage your personal and spiritual growth. In becoming a better friend and choosing friends who genuinely show up for you, you’ll deepen your confidence, strengthen your relationship with God, and step fully into the person He created you to be.

Whether you’re eager to refresh your existing relationships or ready to find completely new friendships, The Better Friend gives you everything you need to form lasting, heartfelt, and authentic connections in any stage of life.
