Moments for Singles

by Leigh McLeroy, Stephen F. Arterburn

As a single, you know all about the "marriage penalty"--and it has nothing to do with taxes. Well-meaning but misguided advice, feeling left out, the nagging questions and doubt, make it seem like there's a penalty for not being married. Being single--especially as a Christian--brings with it a whole spectrum of unique challenges. It can be nearly impossible to enjoy the good parts of being single when there are so many explicit and implicit pressures to marry and raise a family.

Reviews

[Leigh McLeroy · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book I didn't want to write, because I didn't want to be "that single girl." Turns out I got past the label, and in the process found my agent, and my voice. Not a bad day's work, I guess.
