When 19-year-old Jennifer Maggio found herself pregnant…for the fourth time…she was completely lost—lost in a tragedy wrought by years of sexual abuse, homelessness, and poverty. What she didn’t know at the time was that she was the main character in a story that God would one day use to inspire, encourage, and challenge thousands of people just like her…and some whose stories were very different from hers. From that deep valley Jennifer rose to the summit of Corporate America—only to leave it all behind to minister to single moms. In The Church and the Single Mom Jennifer provides a road map for those who, like her, look out at the nearly 17 million single moms in the U.S. alone, many of whom are drowning in financial struggles, parenting woes, and emotional.

Is Your Church "Single Mom-Friendly"? Are you doing all you can to reach out to the hundreds of single moms in your community? If she happened into your church one Sunday morning would she feel welcomed and loved? Would she get the sense that she was at home? That she, like the woman Jesus rescued from the stones of her accusers, wasn't being judged or condemned but raised up and valued - no matter how she ended up a single mom? Would she find hope, the hope of Jesus Christ? If not, leading single-parent authority Jennifer Barnes Maggio has good news! In her new book The Church and the Single Mom (a follow-up to her critically-acclaimed first book Overwhelmed: The Life of a Single Mom) Maggio introduces you to the single mom and shows you why we as a church are called to care for her and her children. The numbers are staggering. And if we don't reach behind those numbers to the women and children caught in the epidemic to help, who will? Maggio not only demonstrates the problem but provides a step-by-step guide to starting a life-changing single moms ministry. And she should know. She is not only a former single mom herself but one who founded and runs one of the nation's largest single moms ministries and has helped launch more than 70 such ministries across the country.
