The Sacred Singleness Book Study will kick off next Tuesday, April 24th!
So what do I do in the meantime?
- If you haven’t gotten the book, Sacred Singleness by Leslie Ludy, yet do so now!
- Read chapters 1 and 2 before next Tuesday.
- Download the discussion questions for the first two chapters here:
How will I participate?
After reading chapters one and two and thinking about or answering the discussion questions, come back every Tuesday as I post on what we read the previous week. Then, join the discussion about the chapters by posting in the comments or on Facebook.
We will read two chapters a week, and I will post the discussion questions for the upcoming chapters every Tuesday.
If you don’t get to each of the chapters, don’t worry! We would love for you to still join the discussion (especially if you have some wonderful wisdom from a married woman’s point-of-view!).
How This Book Is Challenging Me
Yes, my days as a single woman have passed, but that does not mean that this book has not challenged me in so many ways! The first two chapters are about surrender – a spiritual discipline that is applicable in every woman’s life and one that is not always easy to do!
Here are some of my favorite quotes from Leslie Ludy from the first two chapters:
“I didn’t really believe that Jesus Christ could actually satisfy my heart at the deepest level and actually be my all in all. The truth was that I didn’t really think I could be happy, fulfilled, and content without having a guy to turn to for comfort.” – Sacred Singleness, p. 13
“Even a beautiful God-scripted love story can never satisfy the way Jesus does.” – Sacred Singleness, p. 14
“He wanted to make me completely willing to be single if He so chose – and not just willing, but eager and delighted to sacrifice my all for the One who gave everything for me.” – Sacred Singleness, p. 17
“Taking up my cross meant deliberately choosing to give up “rights” that other people enjoyed and laying down my own plans, dreams, and agenda in order to make Jesus Christ my first love – not just in theory, but in real life.” – Sacred Singleness, p. 19
“No matter how our selfish, fleshly side feels about it, laying everything on the altar before our King, and allowing Him to do with our lives whatever He sees fit, is where true Christianity begins.” – Sacred Singleness, p. 29
So will you join us on this journey to find purpose in singleness? Please introduce yourself in the comments! And I’ll see you back here next Tuesday as we discuss chapters 1 and 2!
