Singles at the Crossroads

---

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. Moving beyond pat answers- this book debunks the myth of the "gift of singleness"- works through issues of discerning God's will as a single- grapples with loneliness- aloneness- community- dating and sex- gives practical guidance for temptations singles face- and provides questions for individual or group study.
