Lonely People Biblical Lessons on Understanding and Overcoming Loneliness

Loneliness is our collective malady, a widespread condition that saps the soul and isolates the heart. In Lonely People, Warren W. Wiersbe digs deep into Scripture for intriguing discoveries on the sources and the solution to loneliness.Loneliness, he points out, is a far cry from solitude and lasts much longer than lonesomeness, which ends when people are reunited after being apart. Wiersbe's profound definition, a "malnutrition of the soul that comes from living on substitutes," is the touchstone from which the great Bible expositor begins and ends his message. With the piercing insight Wiersbe is known for, he tells how lonely people are feeding their inner selves with false things, spending money on objects that won't help, and working toward goals that will not satisfy.Set against the backdrop of lonely biblical characters like Cain, Job, and Elijah, this revelatory book shows how God offers each of his children the worthwhile things that satisfy and nourish the inner person. Anyone who feels isolated from God or other people will find what it means to truly commune at the deepest level with the One who made them for a rich, fellowship-filled life.Wiersbe, Warren W. is the author of 'Lonely People Biblical Lessons on Understanding and Overcoming Loneliness' with ISBN 9780801063992 and ISBN 080106399X.
