Known

Finding Deep Friendships in a Shallow World

By: Dick Foth, Ruth Foth

Narrated by: Dick Foth, Ruth Foth

In a shallow light-speed world, how can we really know and be known by another person? How do we make true friends? The Digital Age is all about change, but the need for true friendship never changes. We are designed for real engagement with others - for affirmation that goes beyond a simple "like" on social media, for connection over meals, for hope and excitement about the future. Above all, we need to be known and accepted for who we are. But how do we find and maintain this kind of friendship in a fluid and frenetic culture? In Known, Dick and Ruth Foth offer inspiration and proven practices that build relationships through personal storytelling, affirmation, covenant, and dreaming. They draw on years of mentoring, rich relationships, and the model of Jesus to show us why friendship is one of the keys to a full life and the greatest gift we can give to each other.

Captivating and inspirational!

This book was amazing from cover to cover! Dick and Ruth take you through the journey of building friendships. I finished this book wanting to invest deeply in the stories of others- and see it as a privilege to enter them.

OUTSTANDING

I attend National Community Church in Washington, DC so I’ve been able to hear sermons from Dick over the years but had not yet read his and Ruth’s book. Truly, Dick and Ruth are superstars at my church and you will see their shine on every page of this book. Their stories and authenticity are beautiful. I wish I could give more than 5stars.

Love the Foths

Reading this book is one thing, but to hear from the Foths themselves is even better. Buy the book AND listen to Audible. Best combo ever!

A refreshing perspective

The kingdom of God flows through relationships. This author has this message incarnate in his being. There are lots of practical advices and spiritual revelations on how to know others and be known by others in a way that will make disciples, transform lives and glorify God. The author is a great reader and h paints scenarios in ways that make you feel like you were there witnessing it. This is a great book for anyone wanting to learn how to better navigate relationships in todays climate. Read read read it!

Conversational style book - not a lecture of information

I felt as if I had been sitting at a table and having a conversation with the author. The tone and style of the author’s words were congruent with his message - “we were born to make connections with our Creator and each other.”And in his conversation he shares ways to make that happen.
