“This book addresses the vocation of singleness without reverting to the old “tips for finding a mate” routine.
While the author raises some important points, he often fails to encourage singles by engaging in “woe is me” commentary about his own experiences. Some sharing of his experiences is helpful, but the continual references to how horrible single life is (for example, the torture of attending weddings) only serve to discourage the author’s target readership.
The author includes a few references to biblical terms that raise questions about the validity of the author’s exegetical processes. Perhaps the points he mentions are exegetically valid; I will spend more time researching these at a later opportunity. One area of concern is the author’s statement that a Greek word occurs in the Old Testament; the Old Testament is written in Hebrew. This implies that the author only consulted the Septuagint and did not complete a proper exegetical comparison of the Greek word (LXX) and the original Hebrew word.”
