Loneliness is taking a profound physical, emotional and social toll in the United States.
But what makes people so lonely?
And how can Christian communities better minister to the lonely?

If you want to better understand and support people suffering from loneliness,

Filled with new Barna data and numerous practical applications, this book is an invaluable tool for anyone–ministry leaders, parents, friends–trying to help someone who feels alone. Readers will emerge better able to deal with their own loneliness and to help alleviate the loneliness of others.
