An encouraging, empowering biblical perspective on the significance of singleness. Also available in Braille or Large Print.
Singleness is often viewed as a âplan Bâ by our culture and the church, and sometimes by single people who feel theyâre missing out on their âhappy ever afterâ. Author Dani Treweek offers a thought-provoking reframing of popular conversations around singleness.
Rich, nuanced, and witty, Single Ever After is an uplifting read that debunks some of the misconceptions surrounding singleness, marriage, and meaning. By diving deeply into key Bible passages, it answers questions such as âDoes my singleness have a purpose?â âWhat actually is the gift of singleness?â and âIs marriage the only solution to feeling lonely?â
Reorienting you to the biblical significance of singleness, Treweek shows how the abundant life Jesus promises his followers applies to all believers. She highlights how both marriage and singleness serve as unique signposts to our eternal futureâone where together we'll be married to Christ while as individuals we'll be "single ever after".
Whatever your relationship status and however you currently feel about it, this biblical perspective on singleness will encourage and empower you. Married Christians will also learn more about how to help make church a community where single brothers and sisters thrive.

Provocative and pastoral, Single Ever After offers a fresh way of thinking about singleness: not as a death sentence but as a signpost to the resurrection life that followers of Jesus will enjoy with him forever! Whether you are single or married, I highly recommend you grab a copy of this book. Itâs urgent that we start to think better and more biblically about both singleness and marriage, and Single Ever After could be just the shot in the arm we need!
Too many single women and men have been harmed by badly understood and applied Bible teaching on singleness, marriage and sex. Dani does us all a massive favour by returning to the key texts and understanding and applying them in life-giving ways. The positive vision of singleness that results needs to be heard not just by single Christians but by their pastors and friends. All of this comes well wrapped in eye-opening personal stories, Daniâs good sense of humour, and her years of listening well to God and his people. This book is a much-needed gift to our churches today.
In Single Ever After, Dani Treweek offers a hopeful, helpful guide through a topic still viewed with much suspicion or sadness, or both. She leads her readers through rich biblical, theological, and personal territory to point to Godâs positive vision for the single life: a vision that is an encouragement to both single and married disciples. The New Testament loves to call Christians âbrothers and sisters in Christâ, and this book helps us grow into that reality, which is so much more than mere metaphor.
If youâre not single, you might assume this book is not for you, but youâd be wrong. There are two reasons why you should read this book even if youâre in a relationship. Firstly, there will almost certainly be single people in your church that you need to know how to relate to in mutual encouragement and care. Secondly, though you are not currently single, if you outlive your spouse, you then will be.
If you are single, however, this book is vital reading as a brilliant explanation of how to view your singleness through gospel lenses, both theologically and practically.
Through careful exposition, witty humour and sharing stories of personal experience (both her own and of her friends), Dani helps deliver a positive vision for singleness that is not âbeing left on the shelfâ, but that demonstrates the gospel, our ultimate purpose of union with our groom and our unity together as his bride. She does a great job of knocking down the misconceptions that have developed around the topic in the evangelical world and replacing them with healthy, realistic conceptions of the single life. As if all this wasnât enough, she has even placed âeaster eggsâ within the book, as the final page reveals. You can hunt for those as you work your way through.
(Disclaimer: I was provided with a copy for an honest review)
I have been following Treweek's work for some time, so it was great to be able to read this clearly articulated compilation of her thought and work. It was theological enough so you felt like you were getting meat - but not so heavy that you got lost in the details and very practical as well. It laid out a beautiful vision of how singleness contributes to our understanding and experience of what it means to be the family of God.
Preordered this book and really pleased with quick delivery. Look forward to reading this important book
