Review Lina is kind of like the feminine version of the Apostle Paul - she's a straight-shooting, no-holds-barred, truth-slinging Gospel warrior! I admire her passion for God, her knowledge of His Word, and her heart for His people and all three of those characteristics are present from cover to cover of Thrive. This is one of the most practical, hopeful, Jesus-focused books I've ever read on the subject of singleness! - Lisa Harper, author, Bible teacher and Women of Faith speaker Thrive is rivetingly raw and gloriously victorious . . . a goldmine for singles and marrieds alike! - Lynne Tellschow, Director of Women's Ministry, Harvest Bible Chapel, Elgin, IllinoisIn a world full of families, singleness can be a major challenge. There have been lots of books and seminars aimed at helping singles cope and conquer, but often not backed up with the power and principles of God?s Word. Thankfully, Lina has done just that in a book that is bound to live up to its title for those called to a life of singleness. - Dr. Joseph M. Stowell, President, Cornerstone University, Grand Rapids, Michigan   Thrive is, in a word, BOLD.  Her fresh perspectives on singleness as a gift, temptations that most don?t mention, the real tensions living in a world where matching means another person, set this book apart as not only a must read for singles, but a must study, dialogue, and debate book.  Attitudes and obstacles are examined in the bright light of Scripture with the precision and focus of this emergency room doctor perspective that is uniquely Lina.  Read and prepare for bold, biblical impact.  ~ Miriam Neff, President of Widow Connection From the Back Cover Life as a single Christian is good.
