Living Alone

Drawing on touching stories and personal experiences, Herbert Anderson and Freda Gardner illuminate many of the aspects of living alone--loneliness, grief, and solitude--and offer encouraging suggestions for living well and faithfully.

The Family Living in Pastoral Perspective series examines crucial times in family life in light of the family as a social unit. Each book addresses major changes that ordinarily occur in the life cycle of a family. Each volume takes into account family system theory and social and economic factors that affect the family.

Can one live alone and be whole? The authors of this book are clear that the answer is "yes". It is how we live our lives and not whether we live them with another person that matters most to God. Here is a practical and wise guide for those alone in life.

Freda A. Gardner is Thomas W. Synnott Professor Emerita of Christian Education at Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey. She served as Moderator for the 211th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in 1999.
