Synopsis

Loneliness knows no season. It can strike during times of busyness and a full social calendar just as easily as it can when plans are canceled and friends are far off. And we may be surprised just how common loneliness is among our friends, family, and colleagues. But it isn't inevitable and it isn't forever. As a single adult for many years, Ruth Graham understands loneliness.

In Transforming Loneliness, Graham invites you to surrender your loneliness to God and work with him in making healthy choices that lead to life, joy, and community. Through biblical principles and examples, along with true-life stories, you will discover how the core needs that drive your loneliness—the need to be known, to be chosen, to belong, and to be valued—can be met as God transforms your loneliness into a positive experience that accomplishes his purposes and draws you into a closer, more intimate, and more meaningful relationship with him and others.

Loneliness is not the last word. God designed you for connection, and through his power you will find it.

A very powerful book with plenty of resources and applications if you are dealing with loneliness. Appendix A contains the plan of salvation.

This book is wonderful! If you have ever had times of loneliness or have felt disconnected, overlooked or disenfranchised, this book is for you! Ruth Graham shows us numerous people in the Bible who, for one reason or another, were “on the outside”, shunned, or experiencing a time of feeling alone.......more
