Nearly Half Of Today's Adult Population Is Unmarried. However, most churches emphasize marriage and family, leaving many Christian singles feeling like second-class citizens. Though they look to role models like Jesus and Paul, single Christians often wonder if they would be more acceptable to God if they "settled down" and got married.

Christian singles need neither more how-to books for meeting the perfect mate nor trite advice on how to suffer through the single life. What is lacking is a truly Christian understanding of singleness -- what it means to be single and Christian. Hsu provides a balanced, biblical view that honors singleness as a status equal to marriage.

With study questions for groups and individuals, this book points the way to a Christian community where all members are valued, Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female -- married and single.
