Greetings
My name is Nina, and I am a bookaholic. I have spent most of my life reading all sorts of books, searching for new authors, recommending them to friends, and filling my bookshelves. Since there are so many choices even in the Christian fiction market, I would like to share some of my favorites with you. One of my most recent reads has been, The Closets All Mine: From a Seraphic Single, by Dorothy Cummings. It is a collection of her early blogs and stories from her blog: Seraphic Singles. Which itself is weekly filled with more stories and good advice on the single life. It is a refreshing look at the Single life as a vocation, which has not been out of focus the last few years. When we talk about vocations at CCD, at Church, or in youth groups the main focus tends to be on marriage, the priesthood, and religious life. These are all wonderful vocations but no one seems to mention or talk about single life and that leaves singles like me feeling a little left out. St. Paul talks about how those who are single are better able to look after the affairs of the Lord because they do not have any other major commitments such as family to look after. Even for those who are just in the single state for the moment The Closets All Mine: From a Seraphic Single is worth the read.
