A Release. A Resource. A Request.

We have liftoff!

A Release

Sometime in August 2015, I decided to embark on a PhD… to write a book.
On September 1, 2025, that book was finally released into the wild!

It took ten years to write and publish Single Ever After. But those ten years are precisely what made it the kind of book I’m genuinely convinced the church needs in this moment.

Seeing 10 years of work finally come to fruition is as surreal as it is nerve-racking… especially when I have so many hopes and prayers bound up in Single Ever After.

• I so long for single and single-again Christians to be comforted and challenged. I long for their hearts to be renewed and their minds to be transformed by the Bible’s teaching about singleness and the practical ‘Living it Out’ applications that follow.

• I so long for married Christians to be encouraged and exhorted. I long for them to not only have a greater understanding of and love for their unmarried friends and (spiritual) family, but also an increased awareness of how and why their marriage is so important to the rest of us.

• I so long for church pastors and ministry leaders to better apprehend and appreciate the dignity, meaning and purpose of singleness in the Christian life and community. I long for them to be willing to allow Scripture to challenge their pre-existing assumptions about singleness (and marriage) so that they are more faithfully equipped to teach and pastor single (and married) saints.

• Most of all, I so long for Single Ever After to point every single (no pun intended) person who reads it to the glory, goodness and grace of Jesus Christ. I long for God to be at work so that they may know and love Him more and more.

Of course, if any of those hopes, prayers and longings are to come to fruition, it will only be because God has been willing to bring them about. So please join me in praying for these things.

A Resource

Single Ever After is not intended to be the final word on singleness in the church. Instead, I wrote it to be a conversation starter.

Because Single Ever After is intended to prompt people to think and talk more (faithfully) about singleness, marriage, sexuality, church relationships, and more, I’ve written a ‘Going Deeper’ resource that you can download FOR FREE.

In it you’ll find:

• Discussion/Reflection and “Living It Out” questions for each chapter. These are perfect for book clubs or to further your own personal reading.

• Additional resources on the topic of each chapter. Read, watch or listen to other resources that will get you thinking.

A Request

I’m working hard to spread the word about Single Ever After. To that end, keep an eye (or an ear!) out—I’ll be popping up on a bunch of podcasts in the coming weeks and months. (Pssst: If you know of a podcast that you think might be interested in having me on, feel free to give them a nudge in my direction!)

But there is something I really do need your help with.

If you’ve read Single Ever After, would you please take a moment to leave a rating or review on Amazon or Goodreads? These platforms run on algorithms, meaning that the more ratings and reviews a book receives—even short ones!—the more likely it is to be shown to new readers who might otherwise never come across it.

Your review doesn’t need to be long or polished—just a few honest words about what the book meant to you is more than enough. Every single rating and review helps amplify the book’s reach and gets it into the hands of people who might never have found it otherwise.

I’d also really love it if you could share about the book on social media, over morning tea or supper at church, and in your everyday conversations!

Oh! Also, a PS:

A few people have asked me whether Single Ever After is available for Kindle. It should be available as an ebook on Amazon very soon. But in the meantime, you can purchase the ebook version (for Kindle or as a PDF download) via the publisher’s website.
