Living Whole Without a Better Half: Biblical Truth for the Single Life by Wendy Widder
There are more singles in--and out of--the church today than ever before. Wendy Widder knows the struggles of being single from the inside out, and she has something to say. While there is no shortage of books about singlehood on the market, Widder's approach is markedly different. In Living Whole Without a Better Half readers study the character in Hebrews 11. Widder uses these Biblical examples to show readers how to embrace singleness as an abundant life and a God-given gift, not as an unfortunate stage they should move past as quickly as possible. By examining the lives of biblical heroes such as Abraham, Moses, and Jacob, she reveals that trying to bargain with God to follow our plans and timing often keeps us from appreciating the opportunities he places in our path.
Widder makes her case with wit and a wry humor that readers will appreciate and come back to again and again. Now with updated statistics, and a new preface, Living Whole Without a Better Half includes study questions that make it a great Bible study or small group resource.
My Review:
This is a great resource for single people. Even if they are not religious. I liked that the author used single people from the Bible. These were successful people too. Noah has always been my favorite person from the Bible, however I never really thought about him before he married. The main theme of the book is that God has you where you are for a reason, so be proud of yourself. It does not matter if you are married or single. I always enjoy questions at the end of each chapter to help me remember what I read. I also learn about myself! I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from Kregel, however all opinions are my own.
