 Description: Alan Loy McGinnis (1933-2005) was a Presbyterian pastor for 20 years. He was also an author, and for 30 years, a Christian psychotherapist. He founded and directed the Valley Counseling Center in Glendale, California, United States. He was also a corporate consultant, and speaker to television, radio, and corporate audiences. Here, he talks about the value of good friendships, factors that affect friendship, and the positives and issues of male-female friendships. In his book, "The Friendship Factor," he wrote about abilities to draw the admiration and affection of friends. That book and his others, "The Romance Factor," "Bringing Out the Best in People," "Confidence," "The Power of Optimism" and "The Balanced Life," were written in a Christian context but were not exclusively religious in their approach. Today, there are over 3 million copies of his books in print.
