Author: William P. Smith

Have you been overlooked, marginalized, or unsupported? Now or in the past? (The correct answer is yes.)

So has Jesus Christ.

With rich biblical examples and compelling writing, William Smith persuasively shows how Jesus fully enters our multifaceted experience of Aloneness and overcomes it through his life, death, and resurrection.

This isn’t a book about feeling lonely. It’s about something much deeper: the Aloneness that comes from being alienated from God and from one another. It’s written for people who want to experience God in their isolation, experience his solution, and then gladly move toward others who are also cut off and alone.

William Smith will give you a whole new way to think of Aloneness, a way that stretches, challenges, and ultimately comforts. Because you’ll find that when someone alters his or her world to join you in yours, then, by definition, you’re no longer alone. You can’t be.
