This is an engaging, honest book about the single life that is really fun to read. Leigh McLeroy takes the reader on a comprehensive tour of questions, incidents, and milestones that singles experience, and she guides with a blend of humility, confidence and spiritual insight. I really enjoyed reading this book and I've already gone back to it a number of times to be better acquainted with her mature reflections. This is good stuff; I recommend it highly.

Leigh McLeroy's latest literary offering, Moments for Singles, is fresh, transparent, real, and full of wisdom for all persons regardless of their relational status. The glue that holds it all together is the simple idea of first things first, and then eveything else will fall into place. It is written from a traditional Christian point of view and amplifies the love of Christ for all of us, in spite of all our wrinkles. Ms. McLeroy stresses that Christ's love will only be comprehended through a living intimacy with Him, and is necessary for us to love others properly. Pursue Him above all else.

What a surprise to read a devotional book for singles that doesn't patronize, marginalize or wallow in self pity! To the contrary, these beautifully written devotional thoughts look unflinchingly at the whole of life as a single adult and simply hold us accountable to be the person God created us to be! I love that the author has obviously lived a full and rewarding life as a single adult. Because of that life experience, the voice of the book assumes that I, the reader, might actually have a rewarding life as well and be older than 22! What a novel idea!

I found this book to be like sitting down with your best girlfriend and getting advice directly from God on issues for singles. Don't miss the chance to hear the straight scoop from a Godly woman in today's world. Singles need more books like this. Thanks, Leigh McLeroy!

As a single woman in my 30's I really appreciated a book geared towards singles without all the "how to attract a mate in 3 easy steps" type of tips. This book was well written and extremely readable. I liked the author's writing style so much I've purchased 2 of her other books since I finished this one. The chapters are on the short side. so I used it as part of a daily devotional time. I found this book to be encouraging and thought provoking. I would recommend this book wholeheartedly.
