| Description: |
Why are so many people experiencing deep loneliness and how can the church respond? That is the crux of this new book from behavioral scientist and researcher Susan Mettes, who delves into the profound toll of loneliness in the United States. She reveals that it is not the oldest Americans but the youngest adults who are loneliest. Social media can play a positive role in alleviating loneliness, helping to cultivate belonging and friendship. She offers meaningful ways the church can minister to lonely people, going far beyond simplistic solutions to addressing their inner lives and the God who understands them. *2024 UWF Reading Program: Nurturing for Community |
