Singleness Redefined
is a rich source of Reformed theology applied
specifically to single Christian women who seek to live joyously
and abundantly. Starting from the strong foundation of the Word of
God, the reader is reminded of the goodness of God's sovereignty.
The wise, insightful, and at times humorous content provides a
resource for both the individual and the church.
I recommend this book for two reasons. One of the
most accelerated growth demographics in culture and the church is
that of singles. How does the local church minister to and steward
this expanding portion of God's family?
How do single women of all ages live out God's sovereign purposes
with joy and abundance?
To the multitude of lovely, unwed women ranging
from twenty-somethings to centenarians. singleness brings complex
responses. It runs the gamut of emotions ranging from bitterness,
hopelessness, and loneliness to contentment, hope, and pleasure.
Carolyn Leutwiler takes a realistic look at the
struggles and difficulties of singleness; yet because she begins
at the right place. it is a book that will encourage and nurture
the inner woman and equip her for kingdom service. You will not
find a self-help, weak, formulaic design. You will discover a
clear call and challenge to know,
rejoice in, and listen 10 the truths of
God rather than
the lies of the world and to be involved contributors to the life
and ministry of the church.
God's family is privileged to lovingly enfold,
nurture, and serve King Jesus, one another, and to live out the
gospel before the world. Singleness Redefined has broad
appeal - purchase this book, read it, share it with the Christian
education staff of your local church; give it as
a gift to a young woman who may be struggling with her
singleness: and look for ways to better engraft the gifts
of singles who are part of God's good plan
and purpose!
