A new book for singles

It's time for singles to stand up and find their piece in God's puzzle. Being single is not a curse; it’s a gift from God to do his will... Now's your chance to complete the plans he has for you.
 
You're young, you're lonely, you're short on cash - there is nothing you can offer God - surely?... Or perhaps you are exactly what God is looking for to build his church. You have the time, you have the freedom and most of all; you have an opportunity to give undivided attention to God and his mission...

Single: The Way God Wants You To Be, is a new book written by Craig Risi inspired to excite and awaken any singles ministry and indeed any member of the church to a new desire of being completely undivided to God. The 1st century church was built on the foundation of singles that weren't afraid to stand out against the times and devote their lives wholeheartedly to the mission of God and we too can imitate those hearts to advance God's church in this day and age. If you want to take your faith to where it has never been before and have a faith of single-minded devotion, then read this book and start fulfilling your purpose that God has for your life. And a great purpose it is indeed.

“We live in an era where young men and women want to make a statement – they don’t want to live in the shadow of their parents and what was achieved by them, they want to break new ground, achieve new highs and be able to stand up as a generation that achieved something amazing on its own. Today they have that opportunity and with this book, Craig shows how you can do it…

2000 years ago, some young men and women shared this very same vision – sparked by Jesus Christ and it was their faith and determination to want to aspire to do great things for God; that has taken Christianity to where it is today. However, today Christianity is no longer where it used to be, it’s been watered-down, become complacent and compromised to the needs of the world. Youths are trying to make their stand in the world, but they are forgetting that the greatest legacy they can leave behind – is one for eternity. This world needs young men and women to stand up and make a difference, to resist the pressures of this world, pursuing careers and fame and rather to pursue the glory of God. Being single should not be a pit-stop to marriage, but a chance to make a great impact for God and truly live as Jesus called us to.

Although this book may have been written with singles in mind, it is without a doubt that single-minded devotion to God is what we should all strive for. No matter your circumstance in life, God calls us all to “go and make disciples” and we can all learn something from this book; that inspires us to change to have a greater devotion to God. Craig aims to inspire you to live a life of single minded devotion for God and raise up a singles ministry that is truly living out the example set before us in the book of acts.

I hope that with this book, Craig can inspire a Singles revolution – that, we all can make a greater commitment to live out the call of Jesus in our lives…"
