Now and Not Yet: Making Sense of Single Life in the Twenty-First Century

You've read all the books, attended the seminars, and still Mr. Right doesn't seem to be on the horizon. You're not alone. Three out of 10 women are still single at 30. So what do you do while you wait? Learn to make this season of singleness one of contentment and purpose instead of a holding pattern.

The Thinking Woman's Guide Through Singledom You're looking for answers, but you're stuck between now and not yet . Thanks to the "milepost mindset," taught from Kindergarten through high school, you continually look forward to the next big thing (in school, just being in the next grade!). Then, when Destination Marriage looms as the next milepost, it's more than a little disorienting to detour into prolonged singleness. But where autopilot ends, the pilgrimage begins. Jennifer Marshall offers rich lessons from women who are on that pilgrimage, observations about today's cultural landscape, and guidance for redeeming this unexpected time between now and the not yet for which you hope. Claim God's purpose and direction for your life...even when there's not a milepost in sight.

As a single, soon to be 26 year-old, this book was a real challenge and encouragement to me. It pointed out how important it is to submit to God's will for our lives, no matter in what station of life we find ourselves, and that our primary focus should be on serving God to the best of our ability where he has us RIGHT NOW. Life is often very different from what we expected or hoped for, but God is sovereign and has our best in mind. I loved all the real-life examples and stories from single women, and I would definately recommend this book.
