5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for the lonely...
This book has so much to offer in encouragement regardless of whether or not you're feeling lonely, by virtue of the breakdown in all the areas one can be lonely. The stories, Biblical insights and testimony from different women, including the Author's own roads traveled, on how they walked through seasons was so insightful! I know this book will encourage you in whatever season or circumstance that you find yourself in. Make the space to read it and ponder/process through the questions and have your Bible handy to look up the scripture she points to for the ultimate encouragement to come directly from God's word.
5.0 out of 5 stars good book and excellent author
She has good resource in the back and credits to the God of the Bible
5.0 out of 5 stars Alone ... not lonely
Within the pages of this book, Cindi invites you into the joys of being alone while not feeling isolated. Where we often delight in the thought of having time to do what we want, rather than the list of demands on our time, redefining loneliness by reconnecting breaks the contrary habits that have impacted us since 2020. Be enlivened as you are nurtured and nurture others in return.
4.0 out of 5 stars Could be a helpful book for you
Do you ever feel lonely? I imagine many of us have those moments when we feel lonely from time to time. The New Loneliness by Cindy McMenamin is a book designed to "nurture meaningful connections when you feel isolated."The New Loneliness is divided into three parts:The first part is Reconnecting with God. This section focuses on realizing that God is always with you, that He always loves you, and the you are created for a purpose.The second part is Reconnecting with Your Heart. This section is all about having a better mindset. It encourages the reader not to enter into comparison, to make time and space for friends and not strive for busyness, learning to be yourself and more transparent to others, and learning to love again after you have been hurt by others.The third section is Reconnecting with Others. This section is encouraging Real Life connections with other people and less on-line connections. The author definitely shows this book is up-to-date for our modern world with statistics and information on connecting on-line versus real-life connections. She also talks about the consequences of living through a pandemic from a social perspective. She then ends this section by talking about how people today need to focus less on themselves and more on others.The book ends with a focus on being who God made you to be and thinking about the direction you want to take after reading the book. There are also additional resources in the back including a self-assessment test, how to be assured of God's presence, and struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental illness.All in all, The New Loneliness could be a helpful book if you are first of all a Christian. The book includes Bible study and there are many, many references to God. If you are not a Christian, I don't think the book will be as meaningful for you. Now, having said that, I'm not sure I agree with everything she said but there is a lot of good information in the book. As someone who has been in abusive relationships in the past that has affected my friendships, I do like that she also talks about the importance of boundaries and of not living with toxic actions without speaking up. I especially think that this is an important topic, and while it was mentioned, I think she could have given a little more time to this struggle as I know from talking to people that many people have struggled with boundaries and past trauma. Outside of that, the book is helpful and addresses our world in a way that takes into account modern living including artificial intelligence. For example, she shares a story about a lady whose spouse passed away and she relied on artificial intelligence to be her friend for awhile. I would recommend The New Loneliness to other Christian women who are struggling with loneliness. There are Bible verses and study questions at the end of each chapter too.I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Just Read Tours. All opinions within this review are my own.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!
The New Loneliness is an incredible book. I volunteered to review it based on the title alone, and I am glad I did. I have been in a long season of loneliness since we moved states two years ago. I figured I would connect with the book. I did, but not in the ways I expected."Multiple studies have confirmed that, regardless of our age, prolonged screen time, extensive social media use, and lack of interpersonal contact with other humans are greatly impacting our anxiety and depression levels as well as our ability to know how to develop and navigate deeper connections with other humans."I am reading another nonfiction book quite different from this one, yet the themes are very similar. They both expound on being intentional. They both use Scripture to point us to Jesus while having us explore different ideas and topics. While you would expect that from this book, I wasn't expecting to read about having rest and taking care of yourself in this book (it also overlaps with the reading of my other book). What I am getting from both books is that we need to be intentional in what we are doing, but we also need to make time to take care of ourselves and give our bodies rest. We need to do soul care. I love that each chapter ends with a section called "Be Intentional" and it's a way for you to take what you've learned from the chapter and explore it further.A few more quotes that I found impactful:"Letting God examine our hearts and motives is good. Blaming ourselves for everything that goes wrong is destructive.""Could your shame be coming from a lie someone once told you or a lie your own inner critic keeps repeating?""When you and I are still living in the shame of our past, we will see others-and their actions toward us-through the lens of our wounds. And that can trigger us to respond hurtfully toward them or ourselves.""You and I must train our ears to listen for the voice of truth and clear direction."I could go on, I have over twenty tabs in the first half of the book. The bottom line, this book is so much more than a book about loneliness. If you are feeling even a hint of loneliness, I highly recommend it. Even if you are not lonely, but you are feeling disconnected or just want a great nonfiction book to read, I would recommend this one.Thank you to the author and JustReads for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
