Never judge a book by its cover

Appearances can be deceiving. This book is not called Can I Go Jogging With Barry Manilow?, but Can Men and Women Be Just Friends?, by Andre Bustanoby, a prolific American Christian author and speaker in the area of interpersonal relations. I haven't read this book myself, but it's available for loan from the library at Kingsley College. I imagine that Bustanoby's conclusion would be a qualified "yes." I'd take the same view, not that I'm an expert in such matters; far from it, in fact. In any event, it's safe to say that his examination of this issue would be more valuable and insightful then what you would find in something like Cosmopolitan, Cleo, or those so-called mens' magazines that shall not be named here, and which I don't endorse the reading of.

Sounds like a very interesting book! I would agree with you that men and women can be just friends. I have quite a number of male friends and I treasure their friendship a lot. You are one of them Ross :)

Thanks for that, Kitty. Likewise. On a less serious note, do you agree that the bloke on the cover looks like Barry Manilow?
