This book is a resource for any Christian who wants to explore living as a single person in an environment both in society and the church, where marriage and sex are considered the default trajectory. The author explores what the Bible has to say about singleness, what the word 'celibacy' actually means and makes room to talk openly and with fresh eyes how spirituality and sexuality are intrinsically connected. The chapter on sexuality is the longest in the book and is of interest to anyone who wants to go beyond hearing about what is 'allowed' and what is 'forbidden', but rather how we can approach sexuality in a life-affirming way, that includes much more than genital sexuality. For anyone who is trying to discern a calling to making a commitment to consecrated celibacy but knows that traditional religious life is not for them, this book is a rich resource, as well as for those who accompany them on this journey.
