Customer Reviews

Feel good about being single

This book helped me so much! It made me realize that there are actually A LOT of cool things about being single. I don't feel like I HAVE to be with somebody anymore. I just want to enjoy this time "alone" while I have it! Please read this book if you are a single individual who needs encouragement. It was just what I needed.

Makes Your Mind At Ease!

There are some fantastic books out there to tell you HOW to find someone to marry and give great advice on dating, but some people need a book about living as a single person. Let's face it, we won't all get married because it isn't in God's will. However, that doesn't mean we don't want to. This means all of those other well-intentioned "how-to" books don't apply to our lives. Single and Content does! It can be very difficult being single - almost to the point of feeling isolated. Sometimes it's too upsetting to read "how to find the mate you want" or worse yet, "how to prepare you and your mate for a happy marriage." This book is the cure. You no longer feel alone. You see your boat filling up with people like you. But most importantly, you laugh at something which sometimes makes you cry - being single.

Excellent for singles of all ages!

This book is an excellent overall look into the Christian single's life. The 4 authors honestly talk about the highs and lows of being single in today's culture, and how we as Christians can do it joyfully! I know I couldn't put the book down when I read it, and I have already loaned it to two friends. It's worth considering for the just out of college single who is trying to find out how he or she fits in this next phase of life, as well as for the veteran single who wants encouragement that he or she is not alone! 5 stars!!

great book relating to real-life issues of singleness

I've had the opportunity to meet and interview the four writers of this book, after I read the book. It relates to 'taboo' issues and spiritualness, using interviews with single christian artists. It hit upon many issues singles face...after reading it you will not feel quite so alone! It is a great quick read!

A great Christian book (singleness in a paired-off world).

Single and Content is an AWESOME book, and I encourage every Christian who is not part of a dating relationship to read it. All of the authors (Dana Anders, Nathan Clement, Chris Conti, and Lana Trent) share their experiences... from roommates to staying healthy, and broken relationships to abstinence. Many of their stories are humorous, and readers will be able to relate to most of them. Not only do they share THEIR stories, they have also interviewed Christian arists, authors, and speakers.Throughout the book there are surveys, showing how other singles in the country feel about the topic. Make sure to buy a copy, or at least borrow a copy from the library. You won't regret it.
