Mylee Bankston | 1 comments Hello! My name is Mylee Tucker (Bankston) and I am excited to be a apart of this group. I wrote a book on Christian Singleness after experiencing a long period of singleness myself (26 years to be exact).

Before my 25th birthday, I had learned how to play 4 instruments, been to 7 countries, got a full time job in the music industry, and have been leading worship at my church for 6 years. Sounds pretty successful, right? Well, at 25 it finally hit me, all my friends are dating, engaged, married, or even having babies, and I have yet to be in one relationship my whole life. Which lead me down a road of struggling with self-worth, comparison, disappointment, and my faith in God.

So, I spent over a year searching for answers to the biggest questions for Christians on singleness, dating, and marriage. Now I am on a mission to help other single Christian’s do the same. To dive deep in how to trust God in difficult seasons of waiting. To help singles realize marriage does not equal success and it is not better than being single. It’s just different!

There were so many Christian singles who are discouraged and frustrated in this season. I noticed the Church as a whole hasn't always done the best job at loving our single community well or providing a way for them to find community at church. I wrote this book from the perspective of being single who was looking to find purpose and joy in the midst of unmet desires. My book is broken up into three parts:

1) Why is Singleness So Hard?
2) Where Is God In a Season of Waiting?
3) How To Enjoy Your Single Years

I'd love for anyone this topic resonates with to check it out or share to a friend who is in a season of singleness and who needs some encouragement!
