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.

My Thoughts

This book is a practical guide as well as a devotional for women who are suffering through loneliness. I was particularly drawn to the scriptures at the end of each chapter which lead the reader to be reflective and honest as well as to draw the reader closer to God. There are also challenges at the end of each chapter that encourage the readers to dig deeper and think harder. This book is a good resource for those who are dealing with loneliness as well as anyone who wants to minister to those suffering from the new loneliness caused by social isolation in today’s world. The topic is compelling, relevant and a welcome breath of fresh air for those who deny that loneliness is even possible in today’s high tech, connected all the time world.
