About this book

The world tells single women that they most need to find a guy, at least for a night. The church often seems to suggest they most need a husband. Is it really possible to be a single Christian woman and be satisfied?

Andrea Trevenna takes readers to the heart of singleness—to what our hearts need, how they feel, and the ways they can be deceived. She shows that there is a way for singleness not to be at best a quiet regret, and at worst a personal tragedy. She points to the ultimate, and only, place where anyone, single or married, finds true satisfaction—knowing, and enjoying knowing, Christ.

Endorsements

Andrea’s honesty, humour and wisdom will challenge the way you think, warm your heart, and nourish your soul—which is exactly what happened when I read this book. This is not just for single women; everyone should read it to understand the pressures on single women, the mistakes others can make, and how church families can be truly encouraging. Worth the asking price for chapter seven alone.

Carrie Sandom Director of Women's Ministry, The Proclamation Trust

We live in a sex-obsessed society so the notion of single women living fulfilled, joyful and celibate lives is totally counter-cultural, and hugely challenging. Andrea encourages us to take God’s word seriously and meet that challenge head on. But this book is not just for single women. Everyone should read it to understand the pressures on single women today, the mistakes married people often make when talking to them, and the help church families can be in encouraging them to be godly. Worth the asking price for chapter seven alone, Andrea’s honesty, humour and wisdom will challenge the way you think, warm your heart and nourish your soul—which is exactly what happened when I read it.

THE most helpful and biblical book I have read on singleness. Most others made me mad or sad, but this made me rejoice. Andrea helps us lift our eyes from our situation and gaze upon Jesus, who loves us and delights in us.

This is not just another book on singleness. It will help you to know wholehearted contentment, and see singleness as a true gift. A brilliant book.

Helen Roseveare missionary and author

Among a shelf of books on singleness, this one stands out because it deals with our hearts. Andrea encourages us with the great news that if we get our hearts right, then we really can have the satisfaction we all yearn for. I'll be encouraging others to read this book and praying that their lives will be changed as they allow God to change their hearts.

Rosie Dunn London Women’s Convention Committee

Most women regard the idea of singleness with horror, not a gift to be wanted, and certainly never good. Andrea Trevenna confronts this reality head-on, with an honest look at what this says about our hearts. Full of biblical wisdom, this book truly shows how to be single and satisfied.

5.00 stars Best book on how to really find love

 

Very readable! I have been married for 36 years. This book speaks to me as well as to my Thirtysomething daughter who is single. We all need to know that it is God alone who satisfies our deepest needs - nothing and nobody else can do that. And this book explains it all very clearly. Thank you, Andrea, for writing it.

5.00 stars Brilliant book

 

This is one of my favourite books about singleness and have read it a couple of times. It is practical about the hardships of being single, whilst also celebrating the joys. It focuses on Christ being all we need, and shows that our lives can be fulfilling and glorifying to him, whether we marry or not.
It also contained some amazing bits that made me rethink what I had been thinking about myself for many years. It is a brilliant book and would highly recommend it.

4.00 stars A great book for anyone struggling with singleness!!

 

(Review written for 'The Heart of Singleness (ebook)')

I read this book when I was really struggling with the idea that singleness is a good gift from God. I found it helpful, real and applicable. What I loved the most about the book was that it helped me to see Jesus as the real deal and not the picture. Marriage is a wonderful gift but so is singleness and Andrea really helped me to embrace that! thank you so much! I recommend this book to every single woman out there.
