by Allison K Flexer

Overview

Single women are neither unloved nor forgotten.Truth, Lies, and the Single Woman: Dispelling 10 Common Myths combats the lies that destroy the joy and confidence of unmarried women.In her groundbreaking book, Allison K. Flexer dispels myths surrounding single women, including: 'Because no one has chosen me, I'm not valuable.''Why am I still single? There must be something wrong with me.''I'm not beautiful.''God has forgotten about me.''My past can't be forgiven.'The battle of replacing lies with truth is one that's common to all Christians, regardless of marital status. Allison shares her experiences from decades as a single woman and addresses 10 specific lies unmarried women may encounter. To offset lies, we can turn to God and believe his Word for truth.You'll learn why Allison says the question, 'Who am I?' is best answered by asking, 'Who is God?' Through Scripture, advice from other women, and even a survey of single men, you will be challenged to reject lies, embrace your value, and gain a deeper understanding of the character of God.
