Genre: Christian Personal Growth
You Can Overcome Your Feelings of Aloneness
In our age of increased social isolation and growing reliance on technology, genuine connection can feel more difficult than ever. But what if community and closeness are nearer than you thought?
The New Loneliness is about experiencing the authentic relationships God created you for by identifying and overcoming today’s biggest relational obstacles. Cindi McMenamin explores how our current cultural environment and dependence on electronic devices have hindered our ability to connect, and she offers uplifting guidance, biblical insights, and encouraging action steps to help you
- release feelings of inadequacy and shame by realigning with how the Lord sees you and understanding His purpose for you
- take confident steps toward nourishing healthy, in-person relationships by learning to slow down and operate from a secure attachment to God
- thrive within new friendships and community with practical guidance for making life more meaningful and preferring faces over screens
God did not create us to live in isolation. Journey with the Lord from aloneness to abundance, and flourish as you deepen your relationships with God and others.
Christian Non-Fiction and Self Help books are a genre that I really cherish. I feel that they help me grow in my faith. The New Loneliness by Cindi McMenamin is the latest in this genre that I have read.
I really felt compelled to read this book because it really touches a topic that is in need of being discussed. I have known so many who are in the stages of Loneliness of life. God did not design us to live a life of Loneliness, especially lonely for the LOVE of GOD. God will always lift us up and give us encouragement, we have to want to be uplifted by God. The World that we live in really encourages us to isolate ourselves with Technology and so much more. The isolation of being focused on our phones and other devices has created a feeling of being lonely which furthers the depths of Anxiety and Depression.
I really enjoyed this book and the encouragement throughout the book. The layout of the book is amazing. Each chapter discusses different phases of loneliness, has a tremendous amount of Scripture and real life stories associated with the chapter discussion, and has a section for reflection. I really think this book would make a GREAT Group Study or Bible Study. Reading the book with others will help us apply the principles and advice in this book. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is going through LONELY stages of Life! GREAT BOOK!
