Dr. Sabrina Black, international speaker, president of National Biblical Counseling Association, author of Live Right Now

Having spent thousands of hours mediating divorce cases, I know Kathey Bateys Suddenly Single can help men and women as they face the process of being single.

Peter A. Letzmann, court mediator and attorney

While divorce is a common occurrence in our society, the feelings it evokes are uncommonly intense. Insecurity, rejection, abandonment, anger, sadness, fear, and uncertainty to name a few. Kathey Bateys Suddenly Single is a welcome read for anyone who fits that description. This encouraging, enlightening book is written with gentle authority from one whos been there. I highly recommend it for anyone facing this major life transition.

C. Leslie Charles, author of Bless Your Stress and All Is Not Lost

Kathey Batey is the friend the newly single need so they can work through the pain and create a new life. Kathey has walked her talk. Her book is a wonderful blend of practical advice and powerful questions, exercises, and processes to get your life back on track. I just wish I knew Kathey and had her book when I became suddenly single! It would have saved me a lot of time and tears.

Judy Anderson, Relating to Success coach and speaker

Its time is now and its message is relevant and purposeful.

Dr. Jane Helmstead, licensed professional counselor

Accept Suddenly Single as a wonderful guidebook to help you navigate through the loneliness, anger, hurt, and confusion on your passage to reclaiming your life! Kathey doesnt shy away from addressing the tough issues singles face. She shares the message that life is not over when you find yourself suddenly single, youve begun a new life adventure you hadnt planned. I cant wait to put Suddenly Single into the hands of many of my coaching clients who desperately need it!

Christine Schaap, author of Bring It On! Women Embracing Midlife

Based on my many years of working with newly single people, Ive found Suddenly Single to be the best resource for people rebuilding their lives. Kathey Batey covers all the necessary topics of transition, healing, and the vital ingredients for starting a new life.

Susan Zimmerman-President, Passages Transition Center

The best thing about Suddenly Single is that Kathey writes from her heart, and the genuineness of her journey is found on every page. She shares the depth of her pain, the rocky paths she traveled, and the profound life lessons she learned from her always-faithful God, who never let go and carried her through to the wisdom contained in these pages. This book can give you courage to face your pain, release the hurts, and find new freedom and joy for living your life!

Beth Bolthouse, licensed professional counselor

Not only does Kathey understand the pain, grief, and shame of divorce first-hand, she has also allowed God to use her experience to minister and bring comfort to others. As we were all reeling from the devastation of our circumstances, she would weekly encourage us declaring, It will get better. She was so right! A year later, I am stronger and am living a more beautiful, fulfilled life than I could have ever imagined. Time is a great healer, and when we surrender to the process, God really can and does make all things new.

Brenda, group participant

The most beneficial for me were the questions that actually probed into the reality of being divorced, and trying to take positive steps forward and not remain stuck or depressed or overwhelmed by the emotional pain.

Don, group participant

What was most helpful was the emotional support. The positive attitude that even this will pass.

Isabel, group participant

This book made me think about things I wouldnt have otherwise thought about because Ive been married for thirty-eight years (and I had to address certain issues).

Janet, group participant

I have reread, underlined, and highlighted many things in my copy of Suddenly Single. It helped me survive the pain of divorce.

Jesse, group participant

Speaking and writing from experience, Kathey Batey writes and facilitates training as she guides you through the turbulent waters of finding yourself Suddenly Single. Kathey is a true leader in helping to ReDesign Your Life as you move forward.
