Everyone spends at least part of life alone.
From community, meals and celebrations, to work, housing, aging and how we use our time and money, life looks different when you're single and living without a partner.
And more of us seem to stay single longer.
One-third of European Union households were single person in 2016.
Men outnumber women in China by millions.
How does this affect Christians?
During an 18-month trip around the world and across the United States, Anna Broadway visited dozens of churches and parishes to learn what it takes for Christian singles to thrive. Watch for Solo Planet, due out from NavPress in early 2024.
