How to be Married When You’re Single: Overcoming Your
Struggle with Singleness by Erica A. Spence gives singles hope to find purpose
and inspiration in their season of life, giving a biblical posture on
singleness. Focusing on choosing life and being obedient to His Word, this book
reveals a godly perspective to singleness that offers tremendous hope. Her aim
in this book is to develop wholeness and readiness to be married, but instructs
readers to be content in whatever season of life they are in. Assisting readers
to develop trust in the Lord, she speaks of God as the One who sets and changes
the seasons in our lives, encouraging readers that we can trust Him in all
things – that He is our Husband. Though-provoking and full of Scripture, this
read will help readers cope with the many life issues, giving inspiration to
live a life focused on their walk with the Lord, thus propelling individuals
into their life purpose as a child of God, whether that may be marriage or
singleness.
Easy-to-read, to the point and under 40 pages, the author
offers biblical truths that speak of how to live a life separated and holy unto
God, according to the Word of God. Within each chapter, the Holy Spirit gave
her poems that really are poignant and touching. Briefly, she gives her
background on her single life and reveals what the Holy Spirit laid on her heart
to write to singles. She truly knows what she is talking about, as she has
remained single throughout her walk. She is healthy, happy, and content and
reveals to all that singleness is okay; and can be fulfilling, even though our
society has a tendency to make one feel rejected. This read will help readers
to overcome any rejection they feel about themselves and from society as they
earnestly seek the Lord with all their hearts.
This is a highly recommended read for anyone that is
struggling with singleness and sometimes the loneliness and rejection of one
self and the stigma of being single. Written to help readers understand that
they are to find their joy and completeness in the Lord will help those looking
for love to be ready and whole when marriage may be on the horizon. This book
also comes highly recommend to young women of today, but to pastors and
ministers as well, spiritual content (and recommended reading list), coupled
with the spirit of encouragement that accompanies this read. One would be wise
to add this book to their library and to buy several copies to hand out as
ministering gifts. Our young people of today need God, and in particular young
women need to be taught the importance of making God their husband first before
marriage.
Note: This book would also be an important tool to any
single wanting to prepare for marriage.
