Overview
"""No one has greater love than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."" – John 15:13
What does it mean to live friendship as a Christian? In a culture of fleeting connections and digital noise, The Company We Keep offers a compelling return to the wisdom of Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Gospel, and Christian tradition to rediscover the lost art and meaning of true friendship as a vital part of holiness and disicpleship.
Catholic philosopher Michael Pakaluk invites readers to see friendship not as optional, but essential: a moral, spiritual, and deeply human bond that reflects our highest calling. With clarity and warmth, he explores the kinds of friendship that shape our lives— from casual camaraderie to the deep, sacrificial love between spouses, parents, and children.
Whether you seek richer relationships, deeper community, or a more meaningful life of faith, this book will challenge and inspire you to choose your company wisely— and to become the kind of friend that is crucial and indispensable in the lives of your loved ones. It is a book about community, growing in love, and following Christ more closely— together. "
