October 21, 2022I'm always looking for good books on singleness because I am passionate about singles.
While this book wasn't awful, it just wasn't anything that made me want to keep reading. The truths Hannah was sharing were good, but she shared nothing of herself in those first few chapters, she just handed out advice.
I think there are a lot better resources out there for singles, among my favorites are Kingdom Single: Living Complete and Fully Free and Living Whole Without a Better Half: Biblical Truth for the Single Life

I read this book via an Amazon KINDLE Unlimited download,
Being a child of the 1950s, in 1968 I can remember Harry Nilsson singing his song “One” on the radio. This song came to my mind as I read this book. In the song he states:
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
For a young woman, one is indeed a lonely number, especially if she happens to be single. Being single can be both a blessing or a curse, it all depends on the circumstances. Regardless of which one it is, it’s intended to be a special time in a young woman’s life, a time in her life where truly needs the Lord’s guidance in being able to be closer to Him as they walk through His garden.
Being single herself, the author Hannah L.M., knows the lay of the land and give her single “sisters” the advice they need. Single women have difficulties in dealing issues that are confronting them, which is why she has broken her book into 20 different struggles they might be facing and giving them the godly advice, they need in helping them to overcome these issues. What good is getting this advice in a Christian book like this without ending the session with having some sort of prayer connected to it; which is something the author has done and making sure it will reinforce their desire to improve themselves.
For wanting to have her single readers to make the best of what they’ve got while being single.

July 5, 2025Had some good stuff, but not really like “I need to share this” stuff.
“Make sure your affections aren’t surpassing the affections you have for the Lord.”
“The flower does not come to the bee, it blossoms and then the bee comes. Hope your bloom attracts the bee.”
Lots of editing mistakes.

I really enjoyed this book! It gave me a refresher of what I knew, and I learned new things. The idea of having a prayer journal just for your future husband is a great idea.
