If marriage shows us the shape of the gospel, singleness shows us its sufficiency. Much of what we commonly assume about singleness—that it is primarily about the absence of good things like intimacy, family, or meaningful ministry—is either flat-out untrue or, at the very least, shouldn't be true. To be single, we often think, is to be alone and spiritually hindered. But the Bible paints a very different picture of singleness: it is a positive gift and blessing from God. This book seeks to help Christians—married and unmarried alike—value singleness as a gift from God so that we can all encourage singles to take hold of the unique opportunities their singleness affords and see their role in the flourishing of the church as a whole.

7 Myths about Singleness

Perhaps in response to this culture’s diluting and distorting of marriage, the church has started to idealise marriage within the church. And although marriage is a beautiful gift from God, this can lead to singleness being looked down on as something that is sad – a struggle to find peace with for those who are unfortunate enough to be single, instead of a positive choice. But Sam Allberry brings singleness into a new, honest, and refreshingly Biblical light, looking at all the wonderful aspects of singleness that we can enjoy, showing it as an equally beautiful relationship status to marriage. Please read this if you’re single. But also, please read this is you’re in a relationship or married – you have the biggest role in shaping church culture for the single people in the congregation.

7 Myths about Singleness

A book about singleness, but relevant for everyone. Married people may be single again one day, and know single people. Allberry explodes the idea of the gift of singleness being the ability to endure it, rather whatever state we are currently in is a gift from God. He makes a plea for the recovery of the idea of of friendship, sadly eroticised in the world, and challenges us to give a house key to a trusted single friend in your church. Singleness is an honourable estate.
