Top 6 Books for Christian Singles

If we are all honest, one of the most challenging tests of our faith is waiting on God. It takes perseverance and grit. We all have days when it just gets hard.

God has big plans for you. He longs to woo you, romance you, and love you daily. We all long for love and that is natural desire because God is a lover, and He fashioned you in His image.

I pray that you will come to know the love of God and trust His plan for your life, that His plans are bigger than your own. I pray that you would look to God’s love first, and establish yourself in Him, trusting that He will bring along the right person in His perfect timing.

Love God and let Him love on you while you are waiting on the man God has for you to marry. Focus on building up yourself, others, and your relationship with God before and after you are married.

Here are six books that are worth the investment to encourage us in the waiting process.
