Book excerpt: A hug is always a blessing, especially when it comes from a friend. You treasure your friendships because you know how valuable they are. Friends come running when you suffer through the hard times ready to lend a helping hand, and they are the first ones to cheer when you celebrate those special highlights that dot the timeline of your life. There is nothing that communicates your appreciation and thankfulness for friends better than a hug. In Hugs For Friends 2 you will find stories, sayings, messages, and scriptures that communicate the warmth and devotion you feel for your friends in a very meaningful way. Give a hug today; it will last a lifetime.
