  Smells Like Bacon

  $25.95

  The guys who together form the popular comedy duo The Skit Guys, take their distinct brand of humor and apply it to a guide on how to make and keep friends and why it matters for a life of faith and laughs.

  Tommy Woodard and Eddie James, the men who form the widely popular comedy duo The Skit Guys, have been best friends since high school. With encouragement and guidance from their youth pastor, the guys started to write and perform skits for their youth group. Since their high-school days, they’ve been writing and performing hilarious and poignant skits live around the world and on camera, as well as on their site, SkitGuys.com. Everywhere they go, the question people always ask them is, “How did you guys get to be and figure out how to stay friends?”

  Now, this offbeat duo is coming together to present Smells Like Bacon: The Skit Guys Guide to Lifelong Friendships, a book about the power of friendships and how to build the kind of friendships that last. Written in the signature hilarity of a Skit Guys dialogue–with well-placed banter or two sprinkled in for good measure–Smells Like Bacon explores:

  *Who needs friends?
  *Let’s-Dig-in-the-Dirt Friends
  *Awkward things not to say to potential friends
  *Crying at the movie Beaches
  *How to be a good friend;
  *What to look for in friends–and what to avoid;
  *How to handle difficult situations in friendship; and
  *Why God makes a great friend
  *And fun and random stories, and of course, bacon references

  Tommy and Eddie have traveled the world performing for families at events, churches, and conferences. Their SkitGuys.com website has grown into a treasured media resource for families, pastors and churches. Their numerous short films, skits, and scripts are used to reach families all over the world. When The Skit Guys aren’t performing or shooting new short films, both Tommy and Eddie serve in their local churches, enjoy good food (especially pizza and fries!), and love life with their families.

  Friend Me : Turning Faces Into Lasting Relationships

  $14.99

  From Virtual Friends to Authentic Relationships

  With the rise of social media, more of us are managing our relationships online instead of in person. Technology that was meant to make communication easier and faster for busy people may have met its goal, but often at the expense of intimacy and meaningful conversation. In many cases, friendship has become a status decided by the click of a mouse. Kindling a relationship-or cutting one off-is as simple as “friending” someone or removing that person from your list. And someone with a thousand-plus online pals may be the loneliest person on the planet.

  If you can identify, you’re not alone. That’s because each of us is wired to thrive in the context of real relationships-live interaction with real individuals, such as is shared by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It’s how we give and receive emotional sustenance and support. Yet this type of intimacy can’t be achieved online.

  Join Donna Carter on a journey to stronger, more satisfying relationships as you explore:
  *The risks of being vulnerable and why they’re worth it
  *Qualities to seek out in a friend, as well as to cultivate in your own life
  *Toxic relationships and how to avoid them
  *Steps toward reconciliation, including forgiveness
  *The purpose of solitude in refreshing the soul
  *And more!

  Experience a richness in your human relationships that you’ve never experienced before. And, as you do, draw closer to the One who designed you to love and be loved, by other people and by Him.
