When I saw this book, I knew I needed to read it. I struggle a lot with feeling alone - in my personal life and often in my life with God. I often feel He isn't there or He doesn't love me anymore. This book really helps with that and you'll find you are on a journey of self discovery and will find ways that can help you turn those struggles in a more loving, nourishing and positive relationship with God.
Regina Boyd has put together a very encouraging and useful/practical resource for dealing with loneliness.. Her advice is at once inspiring and educational. Her understanding of the basis for true relationship and the source from which it flows gives the reader hope that we don't have to be lonely.
