Description: Christian singleness brings so many unknowns. Am I called to a life of singleness? How do I know if God wants me to be married one day? Is God punishing me with singleness because of my past sins? How can I glorify God during my season of Christian singleness? How can I find a Christian spouse? Am I good enough for someone to love me?
Along with all the unknowns come intense emotions. It can feel like a punch in the gut every time you see another friend make an engagement announcement on social media. Your loneliness can be unbearable after a bad dating breakup. Once you start counting the months (or years) since you’ve been on your last date, it can bring all kinds of doubts about yourself. Or perhaps you’ve never been in a serious relationship, which can make dating seem like a foreign planet best left unexplored.
You just want guidance. You are willing to do whatever God asks, but you first just want to know for sure what he is actually saying to you.
If you can identify with these questions and feelings, you are not alone.
This book is for you. You can read it cover to cover, but it’s also been designed like a survival manual or a cook book. Just go to the table of contents, pick one of the thirty different topics about singleness, and start getting answers right away.
Along with each chapter comes study questions designed to help you go even deeper with all this rich biblical content about Christian singleness. You can use these questions in a small group Bible study, in a one-on-one setting, or just by yourself during your personal devotional time.
This book is divided into four sections: 1. A Biblical Foundation of Christian Singleness, 2. How to Thrive During Your Season of Singleness, 3. Preparing Your Heart for Your Future, 4. How to Find a Christian Spouse.
The content of this book is not the same old stuff you’ve heard hundreds of times before. The chapters are short and to the point. Each chapter is rooted in Scripture but are also extremely practical, giving you clear steps take. And if your question is not answered in this guide, by purchasing this book you also get free access to submit questions to the author (Mark Ballenger).
If you want to glorify God during your season of singleness, if you want guidance, and if you want to feel secure that you are actually doing what God is asking you to do, then The Ultimate Guide to Christian Singleness might be just the book you’ve been looking for.
