One of the most challenging journeys that many who follow Christ experience is that of singleness. If there is a book to address the specific emotional-spiritual needs singles have, this book is the one. It should be a principal read. As a mental health professional who integrates spirituality, Cresenda Jones addresses emotional-spiritual challenges with clarity. Although the book is informative, it also provides space for a process to take place. Cresenda helps the reader all the way from assessment to action steps. In addition to a process-oriented approach, she addresses the deeply complicated aspects that are unique to singleness. Furthermore, her own transparency with regard to her own losses is as piercing a testimonial as I’ve come across in some time. One of the most exciting aspects of Cresenda’s approach is her understanding of trauma. Cresenda displays an advanced understanding. I endorse Cresenda’s approach, as her material addresses the crux of trauma, our subconscious selves. Romans 8:28 is an apt scripture that sums up what Cresenda communicates in this book. Her book is a survival guide for those who want to go from surviving to thriving. About the author: Cresenda Jones, a counselor and life coach, has been a disciple since 1986 in North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Florida churches of Christ. Generational trauma and dysfunction led her to intently seek both spiritual maturity and emotional health. Along the journey, her MA in professional counseling, MBA, and M.Ed. have provided clearer roadmaps and growth. She considers it a privilege to witness growth and miraculous transformations when she facilitates the Time Line Therapy® breakthrough process, discussion groups, and workshops. She is most excited when her clients eliminate toxic emotional residue and limiting beliefs that have held them back, freeing them up for the relationships, life, performance, and success that God has planned.
