She has taught the fifth grade, served on her church staff, and has been involved in an active singles' ministry at her church for over ten years.

As you join in on the conversation, you'll gain perspectives from the advice of well-known commentators and authors such as Larry Burkett and Dennis Rainey.

Many of them don’t feel as though they fit in at church. Some wonder what they did wrong to miss the person they were supposed to marry. If they’re divorced, they may carry a burden of guilt and lies. They’re lonely, and many believe they’ve missed God’s greatest blessing for their lives. They want to be content but don’t think it’s possible. For some, singleness means fear, grief, and jealousy.       If you are single and struggling with its attendant "stigma," The Single Truth offers you God’s liberating truths about singleness. Lori Smith clears away the fog and lies surrounding singleness and challenges you to live a full life and to see your singleness as a part of God’s good plan.

	Singles at the Crossroads: A Fresh Perspective on Christian Singleness By Albert Y. Hsu Nearly half of today's adult population is unmarried. But most churches emphasize marriage and family, leaving many Christian singles feeling like marginalized, second-class citizens. Many suspect they would be more acceptable to the church--and God--if they "settled down" and got married. Albert Hsu challenges this point of view. Christian singles need neither more how-to books for meeting the perfect mate nor trite advice on suffering through the single life. What is lacking is a truly Christian understanding of singleness--what it means to be single and Christian. Hsu suggests that a balanced, biblical view is one that honors singleness as a status equal to marriage. Ultimately, singleness is not a problem to be solved by marriage; like marriage, it is an opportunity in which to follow Jesus. Singles at the Crossroads points the way to a Christian community where all members are valued: Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female--and married and single.
	Singling: A New Way to Live the Single Life By John R. Landgraf For a change, a book that addresses the real needs and situations of singles today. Quite a few testimonials and singles' stories are interspersed with the advice, some of which are very funny just on their own merits. I found especially helpful the advice on dealing with parents and on sexual issues. The author does not take a backwards, unrealistic view; rather proposes intelligent, thoughtful, open-minded Christian solutions. A Godsend, this title.
