about the book

You Can Overcome Your Feelings of Aloneness

In our age of increased social isolation and growing reliance on technology, genuine connection can feel more difficult than ever. But what if community and closeness are nearer than you thought?

The New Loneliness is about experiencing the authentic relationships God created you for by identifying and overcoming today’s biggest relational obstacles. Cindi McMenamin explores how our current cultural environment and dependence on electronic devices have hindered our ability to connect, and she offers uplifting guidance, biblical insights, and encouraging action steps to help you

- release feelings of inadequacy and shame by realigning with how the Lord sees you and understanding His purpose for you

- take confident steps toward nourishing healthy, in-person relationships by learning to slow down and operate from a secure attachment to God

- thrive within new friendships and community with practical guidance for making life more meaningful and preferring faces over screens

God did not create us to live in isolation. Journey with the Lord from aloneness to abundance, and flourish as you deepen your relationships with God and others.

review

in a day and age when so much of life can take place via screens, it's good to have a reminder that we were created to have relationships with God and one another.

the new loneliness explores different ways that we can so easily feel lonely in day-to-day life, as well as different ways to remedy that feeling. every chapter offers relatable stories, biblical support, thought-provoking questions, and an ending challenge, making this book a useful tool for anyone needing to combat loneliness.

i enjoyed that this book held plenty of reminders for me in working on my connections with family, friends, and others around me. especially in the post-holiday slump, loneliness can easily creep in—but i don't have to let it.

for anyone in need of an uplifting, helpful read amidst loneliness, the new loneliness is a good one.

i received a complimentary copy from the publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.
