The Heart of Singleness

Carrie Sandom

Andrea’s honesty, humour and wisdom will challenge the way you think, warm your heart, and nourish your soul—which is exactly what happened when I read this book. This is not just for single women; everyone should read it to understand the pressures on single women, the mistakes others can make, and how church families can be truly encouraging. Worth the asking price for chapter seven alone.

We live in a sex-obsessed society so the notion of single women living fulfilled, joyful and celibate lives is totally counter-cultural, and hugely challenging. Andrea encourages us to take God’s word seriously and meet that challenge head on. But this book is not just for single women. Everyone should read it to understand the pressures on single women today, the mistakes married people often make when talking to them, and the help church families can be in encouraging them to be godly. Worth the asking price for chapter seven alone, Andrea’s honesty, humour and wisdom will challenge the way you think, warm your heart and nourish your soul—which is exactly what happened when I read it.

EQUIP shorts: 'The Heart of Singleness'

The Heart of Singleness by Andrea Trevenna speaks sensitively and practically into a topic that can dominate our thought life, swamp our prayer life and hinder our ability to actually live the life God has prepared for us.... continue reading

“Best book on how to really find love”

Very readable! I have been married for 36 years. This book speaks to me as well as to my Thirtysomething daughter who is single. We all need to know that it is God alone who satisfies our deepest needs - nothing and nobody else can do that. And this book explains it all very clearly. Thank you, Andrea, for writing it.

“Brilliant book”

This is one of my favourite books about singleness and have read it a couple of times. It is practical about the hardships of being single, whilst also celebrating the joys. It focuses on Christ being all we need, and shows that our lives can be fulfilling and glorifying to him, whether we marry or not.
It also contained some amazing bits that made me rethink what I had been thinking about myself for many years. It is a brilliant book and would highly recommend it.

“A great book for anyone struggling with singleness!!”

I read this book when I was really struggling with the idea that singleness is a good gift from God. I found it helpful, real and applicable. What I loved the most about the book was that it helped me to see Jesus as the real deal and not the picture. Marriage is a wonderful gift but so is singleness and Andrea really helped me to embrace that! thank you so much! I recommend this book to every single woman out there.

“FANTASTIC book on contentment for every Christian”

Months later I can still remember things I that learnt from this book. I think the challenge to be contented is applicable to every Christian, this book deals with it in the context of singleness. So important for all Christian women to read to so they can understand & give godly advice and support to their sisters in Christ. I have given away several copies. Best book I have read on singleness. Great to have the testimonies of single women at different life stages.
