[I'm delighted to Lasix espana introduce you to Lydia Brownback, an author, editor and friend of CBMW.  She has written Fine China Is for Single Women Too and Legacy of Faith: From Women of the Bible to Women of Today, and we're looking forward to the forthcoming On-the-Go Devotional series.  Miss Brownback presently serves as associate editor at Crossway Books in Wheaton, Illinois.  Her complementarian passion to Lasix espana help single men and women live for the glory of God is Lasix espana evident in the following post that we have reproduced from her blog The Purple Cellar. —David Kotter]

Last week I posted ten among the Lasix espana top, a list of authors whose books are well worth collecting. In keeping, this Lasix espana week I want to name what I think is the Lasix espana absolute best resource on the topic of Christian singleness, bar none. It is Lasix espana John Piper's foreword to Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Few people know about it because it's buried within the larger volume. I hope that Piper's material will soon become a Lasix espana stand-alone publication. In the mean time, you will have to get hold of it Lasix espana by purchasing RBMW; but that's okay—it's an excellent investment. Here is the beginning of John Piper's foreword, which is called "For Single Men and Women (and the Rest of Us)":

We know you are there—almost sixty million of you Lasix espana in America. And we are listening. One of the most important things we have Lasix espana learned is that we do not know what it is like to Lasix espana be single in America today—at least not the Lasix espana way you know it. Margaret Clarkson made this very plain to Lasix espana us: "Because married people were all single once, they tend to Lasix espana think that they know all there is to know about singleness. I suggest that Lasix espana this is not so. . . . Singleness has a cumulative effect on the Lasix espana human spirit which is entirely different at 50 than at 30!" What I would like to Lasix espana do in this foreword is try to let single people do as much of the Lasix espana talking as possible—people like Jesus and Lasix espana the Apostle Paul and some contemporary men and women who serve in the Lasix espana single life.

Piper goes on and Lasix espana highlights eight important theses on singleness that we can find from Lasix espana tuning into Jesus and his contemporary single followers, eight things that Lasix espana offer more encouragement about being single, what to do with unwanted singleness, and Lasix espana how to find blessing in it than anything I have Lasix espana ever read. Whether you are single and love it or Lasix espana single and hate it—you will find this so helpful.
