God gives us purpose in each relational season we experience: singleness, dating, engagement, and marriage. Discover how to thrive in each one in the updated edition of the bestselling Single, Dating, Engaged, Married, now with a new chapter.
In a society where everyone is supposedly more connected, why do more people than ever feel so lonely? Even as marriage rates decline, studies show that most single adults still hope to get married. But how can we navigate life and love in this disconnected culture? Has social media eroded the institutions that brought us together--and the deeper emotional intimacy they provided?
Pastor and author Ben Stuart guides you in navigating the four stages of a relational life and embracing the intentions and truths God has established for each one. This updated edition includes an additional chapter on how to end dating relationships well.
As you embark on this journey, you will discover how to:
Discover how to embrace God's design, invest your life in what matters most, and find meaning in whatever season of life you're in.
Do you ever feel pressured to look a certain way or be someone you're not? How does social media affect your self-esteem and relationships? Do you struggle to navigate peer pressure and make decisions that stay true to your faith? How do you define your identity and where does God fit into all of this? These are just some of the challenges many Christian teen girls face today.
Living in a culture that often promotes values contrary to God's, it's easy to feel lost or overwhelmed. Throughout America, we've seen a concerning rise in anxiety, depression, and self harming behaviors among teen girls in the last decade. Many are seeking fulfillment in the wrong places, rather than in a relationship with their Creator.

This book delves into topics like friendships, technology, self-esteem, dating relationships, the LGBT movement, drugs and alcohol, pursuing holiness, and more! It offers personal stories, surprising statistics, and guidance on living a pure and holy life in today's world. It's time to embrace purity through the lens of our Creator and live a Radiant & Redeemed life for God. Let this book challenge, encourage, and renew your desire to live for Him!
