Overview

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.
