Singles and the church-a match made in heaven? Singles and the church go together like grilled steaks and vegetarians. It's true that singles don't fit in the church-at least, not in the family-focused church we know. But maybe that's not what the church is supposed to be. Maybe God has something else in mind for Hischurch, the Family of God. Maybe God has in mind a place where everyonebelongs-and that includes you! This engaging book dares you to believe that things can, and should, be radically different between singles and the church. There is a way you can make the dream come true.
