“Ministering to the unique needs of single adults was one of the first written challenges of the early church. Today, the rapid growth of the single adults population has brought greater problems and challenges. Dennis Franck, an apostle and prophet called and sent to minister to single adults, has chronicled some practical tools to help churches and ministries reach and minister to their single adults. This book is a must read for all churches interested in reaching the largest population group in America.”
“Dennis Franck has been at the forefront of singles ministry since the beginning. When you read Reaching Single Adults you will understand why. It is practical in its application but personal in its perspective and will become the new standard for this vital area of ministry.”
“My reward in life is watching individuals and churches effectively provide practical ministry. At last, a comprehensive guide for ministry to single adults. Dennis Franck not only ignites passion for single adult ministry but also opens the toolbox to accomplish the task. With over 40 percent of our communities being single, this is a must read for anyone desiring to reach single adults.”
“Dennis Franck uses his years of experience to lay a firm foundation for a local church to begin ministry to the single adults in its community. Readers will gain a wealth of information based on Franck’s research as well as his practical experience. With the increasing single adults population and the seemingly decreasing attention given by churches to single adults, Reaching Single Adults is a must read for church leaders.”
“Reaching Single Adults is an important book that needs to be read by every pastor and Christian educator, as well as by every parent of a single adult who is concerned by the marginalization of the unmarried in the body of Christ. Dennis Franck does not just rehearse the problem or lambast church leaders. He passionately offers solid, seasoned guidance on how to reach America’s greatest mission field. Only a leader long in this field could have written such a resource for effective ministry.”
