I Will Be Your Friend

Michael W. Smith is the most successful male solo artist in contemporary Christian music. His classic song, "Friends," is the most popular song played at Christian school graduations, and he has been recognized as a strong role model for Christian teenagers. His first book, Friends Are Friends Forever, has sold more than 150,000 copies and become a favorite gift for graduations. Now, in the tradition of that bestseller, I Will Be Your Friend takes Michael's popular song of the same title on his most recent CD, This Is Your Time, and uses it as a starting point to explore the meaning of lifelong friendship. Stories of friends from Michael's childhood and adult life, biblical stories of friendship, and stories of those who have been inspirational in Michael's life will encourage people of all ages to appreciate and nurture meaningful friendships. I Will Be Your Friend will inspire readers to develop a few close friends-and build relationships for a lifetime.
