I’ve waited for this day for forever. At times, I wondered if it would ever come—and now it has! That means it’s time to celebrate. The Ring by Spring Ruse: Recognizing and Rewriting the False Narratives Single Girls Have Been Told About Dating and Waiting is here! It’s ready to be read and enjoyed and shared.
A Brief Description
I really encourage you to take a look at the The Ring by Spring Ruse on Amazon (which you can find here). But to give you a better idea of what this book is about—and what makes it different than other Christian books about singleness—take a look at this brief description:
If you’re looking for another book about finding joy and contentment in singleness, The Ring by Spring Ruse may not be the best choice—but if you’re looking for a book that dives into the difficult realities of singleness and offers hope in the midst of them, The Ring by Spring Ruse is exactly what you need.
By sharing her own struggles in singleness, Grace McCready provides encouragement to readers who feel confused and frustrated about their relationship status. She identifies ten false narratives they’ve likely been told about dating and waiting, and she exchanges these false narratives with uplifting truths from Scripture. She connects with readers who wrestle with doubt and disillusionment and inspires them to be strong and take courage while they wait for marriage.
Whether you’re a college student who deeply desires to receive a ring by spring or you finished college years ago but still resent that you graduated without a significant other by your side, you’re invited to join Grace as she learns to trust the Lord with her disappointments about the past, her questions in the present, and her hopes for the future.
A Worthwhile Opportunity
Believe it or not, this book is for you whether you’re single or married—and I’ll address both categories because both matter:
As I did research for the publication process, I came across staggering statistics about singleness. It’s extremely common, yet there’s a gap in the Christian market for genuinely relatable books about it. My hope is that The Ring by Spring Ruse will help fill that gap. As a single girl, I understand the ups and downs of dating and waiting. (There certainly are a lot.) Biblically based encouragement (from someone who gets) fills the pages. Friends, this book is for you.
I realize that if you’re married, you might not see a reason to get The Ring by Spring Ruse. But you probably know a single girl (or several) who could benefit from this book. Maybe she’s your daughter or sister or friend or neighbor or coworker. Maybe she’s in your Bible study or small group or Sunday school class. The words in this book are gifts for her anxious mind, her heavy heart, and her weary soul. Friends, this book is for you because this book is for her.
I’m thrilled that The Ring by Spring Ruse is finally here! I hope you’ll celebrate its arrival with me by getting it for yourself or someone you know. (You can find it on Amazon!)
I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, and in His word do I hope. (Psalm 130:5 NASB1995)
