She makes it easy to identify with these 12 outstanding women. It's a gentle book easy to read. It has that forthright Chittister quality of getting right to the point. Great book ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book *by V***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2014* I finished a large number of unfinished books and in the midst of all that I read this little gem by Joan Chittister. It's entitled The Friendship of Women: The Hidden Tradition of the Bible.The introduction of the book starts with a number of spiritual and philosophical points to friendship and the friendship between women. It ends with this quote by Emily Dickinson. "My friends are my estate." Friends are the only wealth we really have in the end. Friends are the treasure one accrues in life. It is of a high spiritual order to celebrate the Sacrament of Friendship.She goes on to write about Lydia (growth), Prisca (self), Deborah (wisdom), Phoebe (support), Esther (leadership), Martha of Bethany (truth), Veronica (presence), Elizabeth (acceptance), Ruth (availability), Anne (nurturance), Miriam (joy), and Mary Magdalene (trust and love). She looks at their stories in the Bible and pulls out gems.Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book."The friend who stands by is the friend who get us through life - at times without doing anything but being there. Yet the knowledge that a friend like Ruth is there - waiting, willing, available at any hour, under any circumstance - what can make friendship more important than family in an age of the 'Great Diaspora of Relatives'." (page 61-62)"The Esther quality of friendship can change a war-torn world, can bring peace, can engage the whole world into one common human enterprise, can link the world rather than entangle it in the endless search for power and superiority." (page 36)There are other quotes but I should let you do some of that treasure hunting yourself. This is a keeper that I will return to and read the many beautiful quotes in a slim little book. It celebrates friendship and love and it celebrates Christ. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I see her words on the neccessity of friendship as being better than therapy *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2016* This book is a must read for all women. Friendship with women is more than camaderie. Joan Chittister shows it as vital to our well being. I see her words on the neccessity of friendship as being better than therapy. I'm so glad I discovered this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/27651278-the-friendship-of-women-the-hidden-tradition-of-the-bible](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/27651278-the-friendship-of-women-the-hidden-tradition-of-the-bible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
