Giants & Grace: What Makes Jess a Remarkable Friend

In chapters five through eight, Jess Aarons keeps doing something quietly remarkable — he changes his mind. About Janice Avery, the bully who hurt someone he loves. About Leslie's unconventional dad. About what it costs to help someone who hasn't earned it. In this episode, Lisa and David talk about what makes Jess more thoughtful than the people around him realize, what the right Christmas gift says about a friendship, and why Terabithia doesn't work the same when you're there alone. Plus, our first listener write-in of the mini season, from Kim in Nebraska.This week's question: Has anyone ever given you a gift that said "I see who you really are"? We'd love to hear from you.
