BRING HOPE TO A HOSTILE WORLD. 
The world we live in today is hostile. From road rage to unkind words, our society suffers from a lack of grace. It doesn't have to be that way, writes John Vawter. Uncommon Graces examines character traits and attitudes that bring dignity to human relationships, injecting grace into the dehumanized society in which we find ourselves. If you want to treat people with kindness and dignity, Uncommon Graces will encourage and equip you to show grace to a hostile world. 
"There are only a few authors who have the skill to recount their experiences in a way that allows the reader to join the adventure and not just be a bystander. Like Gordon MacDonald and Philip Yancey, John Vawter takes what is common to us all and turns it into an uncommon gift of insight and wisdom."-Fred Smith, Jr., president, The Fourth Partner Foundation 
"In his excellent book, John Vawter reminds believers of our biblical heritage-a standard of commitment to Christ and the Holy Spirit, which if practiced could result in a mighty spiritual harvest for the glory of God."-Dr. Bill Bright, founder and president, Campus Crusade for Christ International 
"John Vawter personifies grace for the countless people like me whose lives he has touched. As a member of Congress in a hostile arena during a hostile era, I find Uncommon Graces comes at an opportune time and probes a fundamental aspect of Christianity often overlooked."-Jim Ramstad, congressman, 3rd district, Minnesota

Men commonly experience life without deep, meaningful friendships. The aim of this book is to help men achieve high performance friendship. What is high performance friendship? The authors provide an eight-point litmus test that they apply to their own high performance friendship: 1. Take the opportunity to provide selfless acts on behalf of the other. 2. Feel comfortable sharing inner-most thoughts, yet respect the other's private thoughts. 3. Trust the other with that which he holds dear. 4. Support each other when one falls short or fails, and readily grant forgiveness. 5. Appreciate and accept heartfelt constructive criticism. 6. Truly celebrate each other's success without jealousy or envy. 7. Sustain the relationship in spite of distance or time. 8. Refrain from making or tolerating any disparaging remarks about the other, expecially behind his back.
How can we achieve high performance friendship? Why not consider how Christ treated his male friends during His human experience? Could there be a better possible example? This book provides stories and principles of high performance friendship by drawing on the exemplary manner in which Christ treated His friends during His time on earth.
