Table for One: The Savvy Girl's Guide to Singleness By Camerin Courtney In this up-front book packed with girl talk and plenty of pep, Camerin Courtney reveals how she transformed from a self-conscious single girl to an I-am-single-hear-me-roar woman. While she admits that she still has "singleness stinks" days, she doesn't indulge in pity parties or offer readers a guide on finding Mr. Right. This book is, instead, an optimistic, upbeat look at the many emotions, expectations, joys, frustrations, and privileges of singleness. It shows how to dive into God's plan and purposes for this phase of life--whether it lasts for four years or forever. Fun and encouraging sidebars sprinkle the text, covering everything from must-see movies to a list of great things about singleness (i.e., "if we buy floral sheets, no one complains.") This savvy, girlfriend-to-girlfriend guide to singleness will delight and inspire single women. It offers great insight for friends, families, and church leaders who want to encourage them as well. |

The Journals of Jim Elliot By Jim Elliot Jim Elliot was part of a team of young missionaries murdered in Ecuador in 1956 by the Auca Indians to whom they were witnessing. At the age of 29, he left behind a young widow, a baby daughter, and volumes of personal journals written over many years. In 1978, Revell published the complete and unabridged journals, edited by his widow, Elisabeth, and the journals have stayed in print ever since. And it's no wonder--Jim Elliot was an intelligent thinker and strong writer in these personal, yet universal, musings about faith, work, and love. This book is a wonderful account of the life of a man who yearns to know God's plan for his life, details his fascinating missions work, and loves Elisabeth--first as a single man, then as a happily married one. This book will intrigue fans of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot, readers interested in missions, and young people struggling to find God's plan for their lives. |

THEY WERE SINGLE TOO By David M. Hoffeditz Our culture is inundated with conflicting views about single life. Even in the church, preconceptions and biases exist, including such notions as: an individual is complete only when married; contentment is the litmus test for the gift of singleness, and only married persons should serve in leadership roles. In this book, author Hoffeditz takes a fresh new look at singleness by examining the lives of eight individuals from Scripture who were single at some point in their adult lives-Paul, Anna, Martha, Jeremiah, Ruth, Joseph, Nehemiah and John the Baptist. By studying their lives and situations, Hoffeditz explores how God intends single men and women to live and demonstrates how one can truly serve God and be single. |
