**How can the church do better for its millions of singles? Journalist Anna Broadway traveled around the world to interview nearly 350 Christians from 44 countries for answers.**
*Solo Planet* draws on her 17 months of fieldwork to provide a first-of-its-kind account of the single life of Christians around the world. Discussing a variety of topics-loneliness, sexuality, aging, housing, cooking, celebrations, parenting, and many more, it gives us the global-church story of singleness. Because when singles thrive in a church, everyone benefits. But consider these typical barriers within most churches: * Singles and marrieds often don't know how to talk to each other. * Christians continue to act as if nearly all will marry-and if you don't, then something must be wrong with you. * Churches teach that marriage and family is God's greatest gift outside of salvation-a perspective that deserves theological challenge. * Women in the church outnumber men by a factor of millions-and churches do very little to acknowledge this gap.
*Solo Planet* calls Christians to a more faithful vision of singleness through the wisdom and stories of the global church: young and old; abled and disabled; and Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox. Through its deeply researched account, *Solo Planet* **shows how a more biblical approach to singleness can strengthen churches and empower singles to thrive.**
