About
The 'couples culture' is everywhere: church family events, valentine’s day, cinema, popular music and even supermarket offers. Being single can often mean you are singled-out. But Kate wants to encourage Christians, holding singleness up as a unique opportunity for holiness, personal development and Christian living.
In her book, Kate tackles the common challenges many face when reconciling their relational choices:
- Issues of Identity: church roles, social invitations and being whole without an 'other half'
- Finance: learning to live alone when it's cheaper to live with others
- Sexual Pressure: staying pure, in thinking as well as action
- Friendship: how to be 'just friends' with the opposite sex
- Calling: when the cost of obedience is to stay single
- Divorce or Bereavement: learning to be single again
"When we are sold out for God," she says, "then life will be the very best that it can be - whether married or single, with children or without - because we will be on our way to becoming who we were created to be."
