An encouraging, empowering biblical perspective on the significance of singleness. Also available in Braille or Large Print.
Singleness is often viewed as a “plan B” by our culture and the church, and sometimes by single people who feel they’re missing out on their “happy ever after”. Author Dani Treweek offers a thought-provoking reframing of popular conversations around singleness.
Rich, nuanced and witty, Single Ever After is an uplifting read that debunks some of the misconceptions surrounding singleness, marriage and meaning. By diving deeply into key Bible passages, it answers questions such as “Does my singleness have a purpose?” “What actually is the gift of singleness?” and “Is marriage the only solution to feeling lonely?”
Reorienting you to the biblical significance of singleness, Treweek shows how the abundant life Jesus promises his followers applies to all believers. She highlights how both marriage and singleness serve as meaningful signposts to our eternal future: one where together we'll be married to Christ while as individuals we'll be "single ever after".
Whatever your relationship status and however you currently feel about it, this biblical perspective on singleness will encourage and empower you. Married Christians will also learn more about how to help make church a community where single brothers and sisters thrive.

As a ‘never-married, older single person’, I have read my fair share of books on singleness. For me, this one is the best of the bunch! It has a depth of theology, alongside a warmth and humour, which wonderfully engages the heart and the mind. Reading Dani’s book felt like sitting down with a wise friend and listening as she reminds us of God’s goodness and grace in whatever context he places us. Whether you’re single or married, this one’s a winner!
This hit the spot: fresh turns of phrase, deep theological reflection and lots of pastoral wisdom. How can anyone do all three at once? Whether thinking about individual biblical texts or awkward scenarios over coffee after church, Dani Treweek guides us in our concerns about singleness, sex and marriage delicately and deliberately towards our heavenly home. May our churches be beacons of relational hope in an anxious world!
Provocative and pastoral, Single Ever After offers a fresh way of thinking about singleness: not as a death sentence but as a signpost to the resurrection life that followers of Jesus will enjoy with him forever! Whether you are single or married, I highly recommend you grab a copy of this book. It’s urgent that we start to think better and more biblically about both singleness and marriage, and Single Ever After could be just the shot in the arm we need!
If you’re not single, you might assume this book is not for you, but you’d be wrong. There are two reasons why you should read this book even if you’re in a relationship. Firstly, there will almost certainly be single people in your church that you need to know how to relate to in mutual encouragement and care. Secondly, though you are not currently single, if you outlive your spouse, you then will be.
If you are single, however, this book is vital reading as a brilliant explanation of how to view your singleness through gospel lenses, both theologically and practically.
Through careful exposition, witty humour and sharing stories of personal experience (both her own and of her friends), Dani helps deliver a positive vision for singleness that is not ‘being left on the shelf’, but that demonstrates the gospel, our ultimate purpose of union with our groom and our unity together as his bride. She does a great job of knocking down the misconceptions that have developed around the topic in the evangelical world and replacing them with healthy, realistic conceptions of the single life. As if all this wasn’t enough, she has even placed ‘easter eggs’ within the book, as the final page reveals. You can hunt for those as you work your way through.
(Disclaimer: I was provided with a copy for an honest review)
I have been following Treweek's work for some time, so it was great to be able to read this clearly articulated compilation of her thought and work. It was theological enough so you felt like you were getting meat - but not so heavy that you got lost in the details and very practical as well. It laid out a beautiful vision of how singleness contributes to our understanding and experience of what it means to be the family of God.
Preordered this book and really pleased with quick delivery. Look forward to reading this important book
