5.0 out of 5 stars I Loved Victory in Singleness, March 7, 2002

By

This review is from: Victory in Singleness: A Strategy for Emotional Peace (Paperback)

This book is terrific! I found Victory In Singleness to be a practical book that gave me soultions to feelings I had been experiencing but not openly sharing with others. My struggle had been with envy and bitterness. As a 40+ year old woman, I've wanted to read a book that talked about what I have experienced and this is the first book that has done so. Usually books on singleness patty-cake around these issues and also seem to be geared twards the early twenty-something crowd. This was also a fun book to read. The chapters were short, there were interesting and down to earth "stories" of other women, and little quizzes that helped me to hone in on what I was really feeling. I highly recommend this book. If you are struggling with being single, or if you are struggling with envy, disappointment or bitterness (there are other reasons besides singleness), this book can make a difference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally some truth about the struggles of being single, May 29, 2002

By

This review is from: Victory in Singleness: A Strategy for Emotional Peace (Paperback)

For everyone who has ever struggled with some of the hidden battles of singlehood I would highly recommend this book. It is very straightforward and honest in the emotions that it brings to the mind of its reader. I found that the authors were very vunerable in sharing thier own experiences as singles. The book is balanced in that it deals with emotional challenges as well as looking into some deeper psychological explanations as to why some people may be having a hard time finding contentment as individuals. I really enjoyed the variety of methods/excerises used to help guide the reader into deeper understanding of the various topics presented. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is single especially Christians singles.
