In a culture of fleeting connections and digital noise, The Company We Keep offers a compelling return to the wisdom of Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Gospel, and Christian tradition to rediscover the lost art and meaning of true friendship as a vital part of holiness and disicpleship. Catholic philosopher Michael Pakaluk invites readers to see friendship not as optional, but essential: a moral, spiritual, and deeply human bond that reflects our highest calling. With clarity and warmth, he explores the kinds of friendship that shape our lives-- from casual camaraderie to the deep, sacrificial love between spouses, parents, and children. Whether you seek richer relationships, deeper community, or a more meaningful life of faith, this book will challenge and inspire you to choose your company wisely-- and to become the kind of friend that is crucial and indispensable in the lives of your loved ones. It is a book about community, growing in love, and following Christ more closely-- together. \"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Pakaluk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1594175780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594175787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scepter Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michael Pakaluk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425709900031,"sku":"9781594175787","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be3edf58-a80f-4125-9092-94074a2c9f44.jpg?v=1761541091","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-company-we-keep-michael-pakaluk-9781594175787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
