SPRING HILL, Tenn. — Fulton Books author Rhunda Armstead, who has been a Christian since the age of 15 and has served in many capacities in church ministry since her teenage years, has completed her first book, “Seasons of Singleness: Navigating as a Christian Single.”
The book is an exploration of how the author, a native of Charleston, Mississippi, manages to traverse life as both a single woman and a devout Christian in a way that honors and upholds biblical teaching.
Having over 20 years of experience as a Christian single, Armstead learned how to navigate emotional gaps in her life that were not always fulfilled through professional achievements, serving in ministry or relationships.
With God’s direction and leading through the Holy Spirit, she has obtained wisdom and discipline to maintain a life of morale, principle and peace. She has applied biblical principles to everyday life in a manner that has allowed her to not compromise her faith while maintaining peace and joy in the Lord. These biblical applications and experiences are shared in “Seasons of Singleness.”
“I have often heard being single described as a season in life that will pass over time,” wrote Armstead. “To imply this, implies that singleness occurs as a pattern of events that come and go based on an allotted set of time, a season.
“Having been single all my adult life, I began to challenge that theory,” she continued. “First, seasons are reoccurring without a known end to the recurrence. Second, seasons are predictive and start and end times are usually defined. Third, seasons only last for a specified amount of time. Based on my personal experience, this does not describe singleness. While in my place of singleness, I have found myself going through several cycles that are recurrent, predictive, and last for allotted periods of time. These are the seasons of singleness! As with climate and culture seasons, I have learned that I must prepare, adapt, and adjust for the seasons I encounter while in my place of singleness.”
Published by Fulton Books, Armstead’s book is a look at how one can prepare for the different seasons of singleness throughout their lives, while still honoring Christ and centering their life around Him. Deeply personal and eye-opening, Armstead shares her story in the hope of helping other adult singles adopt a new way of thinking about their singleness and how it can co-exist with their Christian faith.
