Our culture is inundated with conflicting views about single life. Even in the church preconceptions and biases exist, including such notions as: an individual is "complete" only when married, contentment is the litmus test for the "gift" of singleness, and only married persons should serve in leadership roles.
In this book, author David Hoffeditz takes a fresh new look at singleness by examining the lives of eight individuals from Scripture who were single at some point in their adult lives—Paul, Anna, Martha, Jeremiah, Ruth, Joseph, Nehemiah, and John the Baptist. By studying their lives and situations, Hoffeditz explores how God intends single men and women to live and demonstrates how one can truly serve God and be single.
"This is a thoughtful, thought-provoking, and biblical study of singleness—an often overlooked subject. The author, himself single, examines the biblical material and honestly interacts, often from his own experiences, with the inevitable questions that arise."
—Charles C. Ryrie Author, the Ryrie Study Bible notes
"The voice of a single male in a genre dominated by female voices is a welcome addition. In this helpful study, David Hoffeditz opens his heart and shares the truth, not merely pointing singles in the right direction but walking along with them."
—Wendy Widder Author, Living Whole Without a Better Half and A Match Made in Heaven
"David Hoffeditz has creatively addressed the world of singleness by looking at the lives of eight unmarried biblical characters. Hoffeditz makes us rethink God's working through His servants and draws practical applications for the lives of singles in today's world."
—William E. Brown President, Cedarville University
David Hoffeditz (Ph.D., University of Aberdeen) is assistant professor of Bible and Greek at Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio, and an associate pastor at Rocky Point Chapel in Springfield, Ohio. While he is single, he stays busy traveling and spending time with students.

They Were Single Too
"You will have a good relationship to the degree that you are able to be clear and honest about everything."
"People who can handle confrontation and feedback are the ones who can make relationships work."
"Many people try to change their patterns all on their own, using willpower, discipline, resolve, and the like. Sooner or later, they tend to fail. A desire to change is generally not enough, or we would have changed before...(Colossians 2:23).
Relationship is the fuel which makes change and growth possible. It provides comfort so you can bear the difficulty of change. It creates support for the person as she struggles and fails. It brings reality to her, so that she can change directions and try new ways of solving her problems."
"In a mature relationship, romantic idealization waxes and wanes through the connection at various times. It arises out of a deep appreciation and gratitude for the person's presence and love, yet it retains the reality of who he is at the same time."
"Instead of expressing love through sex, the luster replaces love with sex."
"[God] does not look at us as like a piece of porcelain that, once broken, is always broken. He looks at us all as broken people whom he makes new again."
"So many people naively think they will meet a kindred spirit who will never have an argument with them...And they are devastated or lose hope when they find themselves having long-term conflicts...Give up the demand that your relationship be conflict-free, get over it, and go to the next step."
"Does your date know how you feel about how he treats you? Or do you minimize it, make excuses for it, or simply give him the silent treatment, hoping he will get the message? This is not an honest approach."
