There are more singles now than any other time in this nation's history. While this reflects an abundance of "available" men, why are so many Christian women who desire marriage still going through their lives alone? Author A.J.

Kiesling's personal experience, extensive research, and more than a hundred candid interviews with single women help readers discover: who these women are, their circumstances, and experienceswhy there are so many non-marrying menthe influence of sex, feminism, expectations, and other factors on this trendwhat men and women want in a mate and why candidates often fall shorthow to date in a godly, intentional way while continuing to develop oneself This fascinating, revealing look at an often glossed-over topic is filled with personal stories, "Girl Talk" questions and answers, "Man-Speak" comments and observations from men, and Kiesling's insight and compassion to help women understand their choices, their desires, and God's heart for their whole lives.

Review:

"In the book, Where Have All the Good Men Gone?, author A.J. Kiesling does an amazing job of researching an issue that has long been a frustrated topic of conversation in the church--why Christian women are having a harder time finding good Christian men to marry. Through the sharing of that research, Kiesling opens the door for a frank discussion as to where this problem comes from, and more importantly, what singles can do to overcome it and find the mate God has for them. This is a must read for any single out there!" --Cara Whedbee, PhD, author of The Point System "I greatly appreciate A.J. Kiesling's journalistic style and would recommend her for other such controversial subjects. Frankly, I admire the way she tackles subjects that are difficult to approach for most Christians...especially for those who are 'outside observers' and who see that everything is not 'pie in the sky' for Christian Soldiers. It is my prayer that this book will encourage Christian single men in particular, to dare them to step up in their God-given faith and fulfill God's plan for men and women to be the 'completer' of each other. And that surely is His plan." --Faye H Ruth
