Dr. Monica Hardy - Kreative Author's

Today, "single" is oftentimes regarded as a cursed state of being ... at least for women. There are constant messages that communicate that a woman is single because she is undesirable, unfit, or unworthy. Some women have digested these messages and have determined their worth based on their relationship status, and some have entered unhealthy and even abusive relationships as a result. The scarlet label of "single" has led many women to discount themselves and look to men to affirm their adequacy as women. Embracing God: My Season of Single challenges women to embrace their singlehood by cultivating an intimate relationship with God. Author Monica D. Hardy shares her personal story of growing closer to God as a woman who had been married and divorced three times. She reflects on being groomed her entire life to be a “perfect wife” and then being faced with the devastating aftermath of three failed marriages. For Hardy, the perpetual state of singleness caused her to deal with her feelings of loneliness, betrayal, and abandonment, which gave her the open invitation to bear everything at the feet of Jesus. Embracing God: My Season of Single encourages single women to discard the shame often associated with being single and embrace oneness with self and with God. This book highlights the following lessons and principles: • Learning how to fall in love with God • Being triumphant while facing temptation • Being freed from the bondage of past relationships • Learning how to break soul ties and ungodly connections • Being made whole through the transformative power of Jesus Christ Hardy positions herself as a champion to single women everywhere, knowing firsthand the struggles that many single women face, and the beauty that is birthed through intimacy with God.
