Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? (Foreword by Joshua Harris) : Trusting God with a Hope Deferred

Through personal anecdotes and careful examination of Scripture, Carolyn McCulley challenges single women to regard their singleness not as a burden, but as a gift from God that allows them to perform a unique role in the body of Christ. I began to wonder what Girl is supposed to be doing if Boy isn't meeting her. What good purpose could God have in keeping me single? Was there something wrong with me? Or with the men around me? Am I stunted in my femininity because I'm not a wife or mother? What about my friends, what should our lives look like? How are we to prioritize demanding careers, a home with a constant parade of roommates, shifting relationships as others marry, and so on? Should I continue to hold out hope, or did I kiss marriage goodbye without even realizing it? So many questionsand all those questions led directly to the most important one: Am I trusting God with this hope deferred? It's my prayer that if you are asking the same questions, you will be refreshed and cheered through this book. More importantly, I hope you will close this book with an increased passion for our Lord and Savior, who is fully worthy of complete trust I stood outside in the crisp autumn night, rekindling twenty-year-old memories.
