Known: Finding Deep Friendships in a Shallow World, (Paperback)

"Known" written by Dick and Ruth Foth is a witty, heartfelt and thought provoking book especially for those who are looking for meaningful friendships. This couple have been mentoring folks for many years and have incorporated some fine advise for a happier life. You'll love this book.

Dick Foth is my favorite theologian. Not the musty book kind. The Jesus kind who tells riveting stories that leave me nearly in tears, and - after some 45 years as a pastor and missionary, and nearly 75 trips around the sun - saying to myself, "When I grow up, I want to preach like Dick Foth." Since my senior year in high school, on and off I've known Dick: as a Bible school student, the son-in-law of the pastor/gentleman farmer whose Modesto, CA, spread was the scene of my first date (a hayride!) with the Ruth I've now been married to for 50 years; a college town pastor, a Bible college president, a missionary conference speaker; a Holy Spirit-dispatched hobnobber of Democrats, Republicans and other assorted denizens of the Washington, D.C, scene; and now as an author. When Ruth and I returned to the States three years ago, I asked God to lead us to a church where "the pastor" could speak better than I can. He dropped us into Timberline Church in Fort Collins, CO, where all three (!) pastors – one of them Dick Foth – can do just that. Dick and Ruth Foth ARE the "cover" for this great book on meaningfully connecting in an increasingly meaninglessly disconnected world. Get it. Sit beside them for a page or two every day. And soon, you'll find Jesus sitting there too.
