Growing in Singleness
Over the years I’ve realized how hard it is to come by well-written books on singleness. I’ve definitely read my fair share of the “strap up your boot straps and get over it” singleness kind of books as well as the “what planet is this reality based on?” Recently I’ve picked up Connally Gilliam’s Revelations of a Single Woman: Loving the Life I Didn’t Expect. I’m enjoying Gilliam’s honest examination of being a well-rounded, experienced, thoughtful, Christian single woman in today’s world. If you’re single and are constantly looking for books that help you grow in your perspective, add this one to your “must read” list.

Is there a men's version of the book? I don't know if it's just me, but I've noticed there tends to be a lot written by women on being single and not a whole lot from the men. Why is that?
Also, did you ever check out The Unguide to Dating? It's a fun, quick read.

You're right, there aren't a lot of men who write books on being single. For the most part, women are more likely to read books on relationships than guys. So, the market is a little bit slimmer for guys writing to guys on being single. Which is why The Unguide to Dating (yes, I read it!) was such a find. As a woman, I appreciated hearing a male perspective for once. I think it actually helped me hear the other side as well as reveal some ways that maybe I've pigeonholed men into whether it be out of hurt or just my own failure to understand men well.
Maybe you need to write the book for single men on being single men...
