You are Never Alone

by Charles L. Allen

Living alone does not mean we are defeated, because we are never alone. This book is about many other factors than just being alone. Living alone is not the same as being alone. Much of this book is written to help those of us who are alone - not to be lonely.

Reviews

[Lin Cunningham · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book at least 10 times throughout my adult life, it's excellent!

This is the first book of Charles L. Allen's I've read. There were many phrases in it that spoke directly to situations I am currently facing and I have jotted them down to meditate on.
I don't know if I would read it again but I am interested in reading more of Mr. Allen's work.

This book is among all my favorites.

The book has a few lovely moments but overall I found it deeply disappointing. Charles Allen seems to be more a gatherer of others' quotes than an author himself. At times it felt he got lost in the subject matter and bending it to include others' poems and quotes so that while the book started off feeling it could be an important encouragement to me, I ended feeling he'd largely wasted my time.

I could not put the book down. In a series of events that only God could have planned, this book came into my possession when I really needed it. I re-read every so often.
