Created for God's Pleasure: a Challenge for Single Women Joan St

"Created for God's Pleasure" is for all women in general and single Christian women in particular. The message of the book is that the single Christian woman has a prominent place in God's plan for His Church and Kingdom. The centre of the book portrays a living reflection of the hearts of twelve single women from a multiplicity of progressions, faithful in their service to God, but are on their own and does not wish to be. They have never been married and would like to be. Many of these women have accepted this role with grace; however many others appear to have taken up a lamentation of what they see as unacceptable plight, albeit ordained by a loving God and Father. From their testimonies we find sadness, disappointment, resignation, hope deferred and somewhere in the midst of it all, some acceptance of what might inevitably be "God's will" for their lives. Having created us God reserves the right to keep us to Himself by not giving us away in marriage, so that we can serve Him with individual devotion and without distractions.
