When your life doesn’t unfold in the way you expect – especially when that expectation is bound up with faith in a good God – you start to ask some questions. Like ‘Why?’ and ‘When, God?’ or ‘How long until…?’

But these questions are not the right ones. Because when you’re trying to come to terms with your current single status, it’s not about ‘why’ or ‘when’ or ‘how long’. It’s about ‘what’ and ‘who’.

What is this single thing? Who am I, as a Christian single? Who is single me?

Neri Morris grew up believing she would be married by twenty-two. Instead, she found herself still single in her thirties. This threw Neri into questioning her stories about singleness – stories shaped by church culture, society and her own cherished expectations. And so, she embarked on a soul-searching quest to figure out how she’d got here and to discover what God had for her on this path she had never wanted to take.

Filled with real, raw stories, Single Me shares Neri’s journey from fighting her single status to finding the beauty in surrender. On the way, she explores with honesty and humour the realities of being single in a church culture obsessed with marriage and a society obsessed with sex. Part memoir, part rally cry for single Christians, this heart-on-the-sleeve book invites you to check your assumptions about singleness and open up to what God has in store for you in every season.
