What makes people lonely? And how can Christian communities better
minister to the lonely? In The Loneliness Epidemic, behavioral
scientist and researcher Susan Mettes explores those questions and
more. Guided by current research from Barna Group, Mettes
illustrates the profound physical, emotional, and social toll of
loneliness in the United States. Surprisingly, her research shows
that it is not the oldest Americans but the youngest adults who are
loneliest and that social media can actually play a positive role
in alleviating loneliness. Mettes highlights the role that
belonging, friendship, closeness, and expectations play in
preventing it. She also offers meaningful ways the church can
minister to lonely people, going far beyond simplistic
solutions--like helping them meet new people--to addressing their
inner lives and the God who understands them. With practical and
highly applicable tips, 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.
Foreword by Barna Group president David Kinnaman.
