“My dear friend Jennie Allen shows us how to make true emotional connections with the right people so that our authentic relationships can be healthy for all.”—Lysa TerKeurst, author of It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way

In a world that’s both more connected and more isolating than ever before, we’re often tempted to do life alone, whether because we’re so busy or because relationships feel risky and hard. But science confirms that consistent, meaningful connection with others has a powerful impact on our well-being. We are meant to live known and loved. But so many are hiding behind emotional walls that we’re experiencing an epidemic of loneliness.

In Find Your People, bestselling author Jennie Allen draws on fascinating insights from science and history, timeless biblical truth, and vulnerable stories from her own life to help you:

• overcome the barriers to making new friends and learn to initiate with easy-to-follow steps

• find simple ways to press through awkward to get to authentic in conversations

• understand how conflict can strengthen relationships rather than destroy them

• identify the type of friend you are and the types of friends you need

• learn the five practical ingredients you need to have the type of friends you’ve always longed for

You were created to play, engage, adventure, and explore—with others. In Find Your People, you’ll discover exactly how to dive into the deep end and experience the full wonder of community. Because while the ache of loneliness is real, it doesn’t have to be your reality.

I didn't realize that what I was feeling was loneliness, Because I live a busy Life. No I know what I really need And who I need to be

Soo good!

This book is so applicable to all walks of life. We were meant to live in deep community with those around us. Also love that it is narrated by the author. Highly recommend.

Best book!

One of my most favorite books. It was released at the best time. Such an answer to prayer. Jennie Allen says it so we'll. Highly recommended for all to read.

Lovely!

The concepts Jennie brought up were somewhat radical, but I think quite lovely when you open your mind and heart up to them. I felt called up and out of some habits and invigorated to go deeper into community.

Very Helpful

This book is well written. The author is very open and honest. She gives us tangible ways to reach out to others and hopefully find our people. It makes me desire to have these close friendships, to be a good friend.
Thank you Jeannie for reminding us that we were created to love one another.

Finished it and immediately restarted it

If you're considering buying this book, do it. I've recommended it to all of my friends and bought the physical copy so that I could highlight and make notes. This book was well written and gave SO many good comparisons at ways to better friendships, be intentional with all relationships, and how do be a better friend all while tying in scripture.

Must have book

Loved doing this with my ladies group and recommend highly. There is so much to get from this book.

Grab a copy for you and a friend!

This book is so much more than I expected! If you are looking for deeper and more meaningful friendships, this is the book for you! I love all Jennie’s books, and this is my favorite one!

Great book on an important topic

Excellent reminder and blueprint for finding that close community we all desperately need. I love Jennie’s ministry with the IF:Gathering. This would make an excellent small group study.

Great Book!

Jennie is honest and real! I highly recommend this book if you've ever struggled with loneliness or just wonder if there's more to this life and your relationships with others.
