Beschreibung

If marriage shows us the shape of the gospel, singleness shows us its sufficiency.

Much of what we commonly assume about singleness--that it is primarily about the absence of good things like intimacy, family, or meaningful ministry--is either flat-out untrue or, at the very least, shouldn't be true. To be single, we often think, is to be alone and spiritually hindered.

But the Bible paints a very different picture of singleness: it is a positive gift and blessing from God. This book seeks to help Christians--married and unmarried alike--value singleness as a gift from God so that we can all encourage singles to take hold of the unique opportunities their singleness affords and see their role in the flourishing of the church as a whole.

  • Written by a single pastor with global teaching and training experience
  • Addresses 7 common misconceptions about singleness in the church today: it is too hard, requires a special calling, means no intimacy, means no family, is a hindrance to ministry, wastes our sexuality, and is easy
  • Written for the church as a whole to better understand, embrace, and empower Christian singles
