FORTHCOMING TITLE, ETA SEPTEMBER 2024.
How the gospel of Jesus empowers us to redeem the deep ache of loneliness.
For years, Steve DeWitt was the only never married megachurch pastor in the United States. This put him in proximity to thousands of people, yet he lived his daily life alone. Over some 8,000 days as an adult single, and now eleven years of marriage, Pastor Steve has a unique perspective on solitude and aloneness. Loneliness addresses this pervasive ache from his personal experience and pastoral viewpoint.
In a time when loneliness is at an all-time high, this book—rich with biblical truth and practical help—speaks to all hearts. DeWitt explores the invitation of Jesus when our hearts feel alone and isolated. Writing on topics that affect us and the ones we love—such as loneliness and the gospel, loneliness and singleness, loneliness and marriage, and loneliness and leadership—he shows us the way out of our pain and into relational flourishing with God and others.
Is there a sweetness or a blessing offered in the valley of loneliness? DeWitt has discovered that there absolutely is. Loneliness doesn't have to be our enemy. It can be the path God uses for our souls to experience the presence, promises, and power of Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Steve on a journey out of the ache and into love in his new book Loneliness.
"You might be married with kids and boast thousands of friends on social media. Yet you might still feel lonely. Steve DeWitt challenged me by showing how loneliness can be a gift from God to help us love Him more fully. Readers will join me in learning to take loneliness as an occasion to turn toward our ever-present God."
