Solo Planet
How can singles thrive? Six years in the making, Solo Planet draws on 17 months of fieldwork to provide a first-of-its-kind account of the single life of Christians. From aging to housing, cooking to sexuality, Anna shares how singleness touches all of life for the global church.
Written for whole churches to read together, the book includes practical topics and discussion questions to help singles and married people deepen their shared community. Because when singles thrive in a church, everyone benefits.

Sexless in the City
What happens when you love God, but you also want to have sex?. In Sexless in the City, a twentysomething urbanite discovers that the Harlequin romances she's read and the jazz standards she’s memorized are little help in her search for that lifelong love. From Phoenix to Berkeley, Singapore and New York, Anna Broadway navigates romantic entanglements with men like the Harvard Lickwit, Hippie the Groper and Ad Weasel — all while trying to decide if the God of her youth is really real and if she can trust him with her love life.
Sexless in the City offers a humorous, yet unflinching look at what it means to obey God in our sexuality, come singleness or marriage.

Venus and Virtue
Cascade Books. Edited by Jerry L. Walls, Jeremy Neill and David Baggett.
While popular culture often tends to think of Christianity as negative about sexuality and sexual pleasure, the fact is that Christians have the best of reasons to joyfully celebrate sex as a gift. Unfortunately, there is as much confusion about sex in Christian circles as there is in the culture at large. The authors of this book believe that this confusion can only be adequately addressed by drawing from the deep wells of biblical truth and traditional theology.

Disquiet Time was written by and for Bible-loving Christians, agnostics, skeptics, none-of-the-aboves, and people who aren't afraid to dig deep spiritually, ask hard questions, and have some fun along the way.
