Why We’re Feeling Lonely (and What We Can Do About It) is written by Shelby Abbot, who has served in ministries for young adults for over 2 decades. “This book convicted, encouraged, and deeply healed me in my struggle with loneliness. Even while surrounded by an amazing community, I often felt unseen―but Shelby Abbott gently exposed how self-centeredness can sometimes hide beneath that kind of loneliness. His words drew me to meditate on Scripture, sit in God’s presence, and pursue deeper, selfless connection with others. God’s design for meaningful relationships―with him and with people―is beautifully unpacked here. I’m walking away with renewed purpose and perspective, and I’m incredibly grateful for how this book has changed my life.” -- Sierra Wilson (Gen-Z reader) Shelby Abbott is an author, campus minister, emcee, and conference speaker.
