Surviving Singledom: Or Hang in There!

While society at large is choosing to marry at an increasingly older age, the majority of Christians are married by 21. Those who progress into their late 20s and beyond without marrying can face confusion, exclusion and even loss of faith. In her debut book Surviving Singledom, Steph Penny shares the stories of other singles and Steph's own experience of marrying later in life to explore many issues facing Christian singles today. With humour and hope, Steph challenges some of the myths and assumptions surrounding singleness, with the ever-present encouragement for readers to serve God regardless of their marital status.

Publisher Description

While our society is increasingly choosing to be single, the majority of the Christian population marries at an early age. Christians who choose singledom for the purpose of serving in ministry can lead fulfilling lives. However, most Christian singles have no wish to remain so and they often experience frustration, isolation and crises of faith. Christians who remain single into their late 20s and 30s can become trapped in a state of perpetual singledom. Surviving Singledom tackles the challenges faced by many Christian singles today. Everything from sex to sanity is discussed in this humorous and hopeful take on singleness. This book will help single Christians to hold onto their faith during times of doubt and turmoil, with an encouragement to follow Christ as a role model and Saviour.
