Synopsis

While singleness is often widely misunderstood by many in the church today and often viewed in negative terms, the Bible speaks about it very differently. Relying on that biblical viewpoint, this book sets forth a positive vision of singleness by responding to seven common misconceptions, such as the notion that singleness is too hard, requires a special spiritual gift, is a hindrance to ministry, or is a waste of sexuality. Addressed to the church as a whole and written by a single pastor, 7 Myths about Singleness will help listeners better understand, support, and empower the singles around them to contribute to the flourishing of the church as a whole.

Goodreads review by Rebekah on January 17, 2020

I’m not sure how to review this book. It was very encouraging to read of others who have dealt with the same things in their singleness as I have.

I recommended this book and then thought “I actually don’t remember this super well.” As I started reading it I realized I definitely had never read it before lol. But I would still recommend so it worked out!!......more
