Sick of Singleness: A Biblical Guide to Breaking Free and Finding Love

by Harmony Claire

Popular Christian Culture's narrative teaches singles that the key to finding love is to abdicate responsibility for their love lives to God. Slogans Singleness is a gift - Wait on the Lord - God is enough - God will send you the right one in His time. Such mantras sound so spiritual but what if they are not true? What if they are not Biblical? What if the very things you are doing to find love are keeping you from it? In Sick of Singleness, author Harmony Claire uses her own singleness breakthrough story to skillfully address the spiritual, cultural, and personal narratives that can keep Christians trapped in unwanted singleness. Her biblical and practical approach to the search for true love offers unique, refreshing and life-changing insights that will empower you to change your narrative and your story.

The author girlbossed too close to the sun and lost the plot. In a desperate attempt to prove that her singleness wasn’t God’s will, she ends up making an argument that God really doesn’t care what we do with our lives. If the author would look at the history of the Church before the fringe moments of the 1970s, she would see many examples of God calling people to singleness for the sake of the salvation of souls, especially in the Catholic Church.

Although I’m not single, I found *Sick of Singleness* to be a fresh take on purity culture and the experience of singleness within the American Christian community. The author offers tangible tools alongside a thoughtful theological reexamination of cultural norms that have become so synchretistically accepted that we sometimes forget to ask whether they’re actually biblical.

It’s a quick read, peppered with the author’s own experiences, and manages to challenge some deeply ingrained assumptions without feeling like a theological sledgehammer. I appreciated the way it invites readers to untangle what Scripture actually says from what Christian culture has simply decided is “the way things are.”
