Description

According to Forbes, 73% of young adults feel alone sometimes or always.

But Christians have a unique kind of opportunity to find genuine community and friendships. When you live life for Jesus, you have the ultimate comfort that he’s always alongside you. So why are you still feeling lonely?

In this short, punchy book, you’ll explore specific reasons why you and many others in Gen Z are fighting loneliness—even as Christians. After each compelling diagnosis of what fuels detachment, you’ll unpack a solution rooted in God’s design for relationships and community.

You’ll see...

  • how a better grasp of the gospel gives you an authentic sense of self in a world of filtered digital identities
  • how gospel friendships are an antidote to porn use and a casual attitude towards sex
  • how gospel empathy strengthens relationships in a culture of polarisation and anger
  • how gospel involvement can help heal feelings of depression and anxiety

<marketing>Why We’re Feeling Lonely (and What We Can Do About It) is written by Shelby Abbott, who has served in ministry with young adults for over two decades. 

Great for giving away in young-adult ministry contexts.
