7 Myths about Singleness | 
pickI‘m not going to say I agreed with all of this book, but it does express some good points. Often, and especially in the church, singleness is seen only as a stage of waiting. Yet, at some point that doesn‘t work and absolutely doesn‘t help. Sometimes, due to circumstance or choice, singleness is just the state of being, and this book acknowledges realities and positive aspects of that from a Christian perspective.

Suet624 I haven't read this book but after three marriages I can tell you I'm finally happy to be single. :). Apparently it's what is best for me. My ex's are friends of mine and I have lots of company so it's all good. 5y

Scochrane26 The grouping of people in many churches around being married & emphasis on getting married bugs me a lot. Fortunately, my church hasn‘t ever been like that. 5y
Daisey @TheBookHippie The way singleness is viewed in the church? This book is the most positive discussion I‘ve seen on remaining single. I would be curious to hear if you know of others. 5y
Daisey @Suet624 It makes sense that it really is just the best for some, and I wish it were more widely recognized. I still don‘t know if that is really what is meant to be for me, but accepting it now is better than constantly waiting in frustration. 5y
Daisey @Scochrane26 I personally feel very comfortable single in my church as well, but as time goes on this general view of only waiting for marriage annoys me more. 5y
TheBookHippie @Daisey my very good friend was looking for a good book on this, we‘ve had no luck, she is single by choice and we‘ve never found one. She had just been told God didn‘t mean for man to be alone so she replied I am not a man 🤣. However she hates the I don‘t fit in the church structure feeling. It frustrates her. 5y
BookBabe Great review! Sounds like a good book. Author Phylicia Masonheimer also wrote a book on this topic. https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/fruitful-ebook/ 2y
Daisey @BookBabe Thanks, I‘ll have to look it up. Is this one you‘ve read yourself? 2y
