The Message Solo

Transform Your Quiet Time Today’s world is all about now—a fast-moving, high-speed, on-demand lifestyle. But has this pace changed how we study the Bible? Our relationship with God is a journey, a walk where we grow closer to him each day. So it makes sense that reading and understanding scripture is a continual experience, not just a moment. This innovative devotional is designed to change how you interact with God’s Word. The Message: Solo revolves around lectio divina, or “divine reading,” an ancient approach to exploring Scripture updated for today’s readers. Each devotion delivers a unique, contemplative study that will encourage you to: Read: Uncover biblical wisdom and revelations as you learn to read without the typical limitations that often hinder Bible reading. Think: Immerse yourself in the passages as you place yourself in the story or meditate on words and phrases. Pray: Connect with him through listening prayer and praise as you encounter new ways to communicate with God. Live: Rest, reflect, or act as you discover how to take the Word with you throughout the day. Features include: An introduction to the lectio divina style of study Guided devotions with a day for reflection every week A topical index for finding issues that impact your life Numbered devotions so you can start anytime and never fall behind

With eye-opening statistics, original data, and vivid portraits of people who live alone, renowned sociologist Eric Klinenberg upends conventional wisdom to deliver the definitive take on how the rise of going solo is transforming the American experience. Klinenberg shows that most single dwellers—whether in their twenties or eighties—are deeply engaged in social and civic life. There's even evidence that people who live alone enjoy better mental health and have more environmentally sustainable lifestyles. Drawing on more than three hundred in-depth interviews, Klinenberg presents a revelatory examination of the most significant demographic shift since the baby boom and offers surprising insights on the benefits of this epochal change.
