7175X: Psalms 23 for the Single Parents Psalms 23 for the Single Parents
By Carmen Leal

Nearly half of all homes in our nation are single-parent families. Whether through death, divorce, or life choices, each situation has its own struggle. The Twenty-Third Psalm for the Single Parent invites readers to rest in the knowledge that there is a Shepherd to guide them through the frustrations, fears, and loneliness often associated with single parenting.

Offering an inspirational and refreshing look at one of the best-loved portions of Scripture,

The Twenty-Third Psalm for the Single Parent gives readers the assurance that despite being a lone parent they are not alone.

Full of encouragement and grace-filled stories, this book gives readers renewed hope that the Shepherd will provide for their families in every way. Each verse of Psalm 23 is the subject for a topical chapter designed to inspire the single parent.

The Twenty-Third Psalm for the Single Parent features fifteen true-life stories of how the Shepherd provides care, provision, rest, peace, hope, direction, patience, courage, friendship, comfort, protection, healing, blessings, love, and joy. Thought-provoking Scriptures, quotes, and classic hymns round out each chapter to show how a relationship with the Lord, our Shepherd, can help the single parent find wholeness and joy.
