What They're Saying
Critics Review
“In CELEBRATING THE SINGLE LIFE we have that rare find, a book that offers not only helpful guidelines for a spiritually grounded life-style, but also challenges us to see it as a ‘graced opportunity’ to witness by our uniqueness… When the author suggests we ‘celebrate the single life’ she does not promise that we will never feel loneliness, pain or frustration. What she offers are gentle proddings toward a life of intimacy with God.”
-St. Anthony Messenger
“Although single persons may have some different problems, Muto’s chapters on spirituality and prayer speak to every person… [This book] will enable all never-married, widowed, or divorced persons to grow as fully human, fully Christian people.”
-Spiritual Book News
“[Muto’s] style is very intellectual, but she is also emotional and caring… This book is for the person who is ready to consider singleness as a vocation rather than a factor of life.”
-The Banner
“CELEBRATING THE SINGLE LIFE contains so much wisdom that I soon found myself reading not only for others but for myself… A single person is not someone who either was not fortunate enough to be married or who did not respond to a vocation to the religious life. Singleness is a vocation that can be chosen for itself. With real depth and exciting insights Dr. Muto examines and explores the meaning of that vocation.”
-The Long Island Catholic
“Muto is eminently qualified, both professionally and personally, to author a work of this nature… Hers is a compelling view reflecting her own commitment to the single vocation and a wealth of personal spiritual development… Pastoral ministers and those involved directly in counseling young people and singles will find CELEBRATING THE SINGLE LIFE an invaluable resource in gaining and sharing with others a richer, more constructive perspective on Christian singleness today.”
-Emmanuel
