How a Single Woman Can Overcome Stigmatisation

About the Book

Dear friends, this book was birthed as a result of the pain I witnessed and also experienced as a single woman. My life evolved from desperation to acceptance, peace with self and with God, and finally, fulfilment as a single woman. I therefore wish to share my life lessons with you and be a source of encouragement to many single ladies out there. This book also goes a long way to change the wrong perception of singleness and to help people to realise that singleness is one of the best gifts in life with so many advantages that society is blinded to. If you are a single lady (most especially, one of the older ones of thirty-five years and above), this book will bring back your widest smile, brightest glow, and self-esteem. It will enlighten you about the true meaning of life and its purpose. The book will take you through the stages of self-discovery and the realignment of your priorities. It will equip you with practical guidelines of how to live a fulfilled life despite the increased singleness in our world today. You will get to know people who, despite being single, have great achievements and legacies. You will discover that you are not alone. To the relatives and friends of the single lady and the general public, you will not only be shown the reality of the discrimination and the negative effect of the pressure put upon unmarried women but also be helped to adapt the right attitude in supporting them in fulfilling life’s purpose. To the church leaders and all Christians, you will discover the damage done by adopting wrong doctrines and attitudes towards single women. These doctrines are contrary to kingdom principles, and we need to know how they can be corrected.
