About

Singleness isn't a problem to be solved. It's not a phase, a stage, or a season. It's just another route to togetherness. Because regardless of relationship status, we all have the same desire for nearness, understanding, and love. We all need friendships and dinner parties, celebrations and commiseration, lament and commitment. We all need community--and we all need Jesus.

Through her relatable storytelling, deep theological insight, and practical wisdom, Melissa Zaldivar offers a refreshing take on being single in the church. She shows single people how to intentionally build authentic, life-giving relationships that put our mutual faith in Christ at the center rather than the cultural trappings of dating, marriage, parenthood, and other false distinctions.

Your community is waiting. Let's come to one another with open arms and proclaim, "Get over here!" with joy and hope.

Endorsements

"As a marriage and family therapist, this is the book I've been looking for for years. As Melissa so wisely says, singleness is not a stage, phase, or season. Most of all, singleness is not a problem to be solved but a route to togetherness. With the wisdom of a trustworthy guide and the care and humor of your best friend, Melissa offers inspiration, deep theological truth, and practical steps we all need to grow in community! The church and the broader culture need this message, and Melissa Zaldivar was absolutely the person to write it. Join me in underlining the whole thing!"

Nicole Zasowski, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of What If It's Wonderful?

"One of Melissa's superpowers is to see people who others sometimes overlook, and that's what she's done in this book. Singles will find a wise, compassionate friend in the pages of Get Over Here, and we're all the better for it."

Katy Boatman, cohost of the Single Purpose League community

"The beautiful approach to Get Over Here is found in the pages of Melissa Zaldivar's own story: never being defined by singleness, yet not shying away from the realities of it. This wise and measured guidebook will help every reader who is single feel seen, known, and understood right where they are."

Lisa Whittle, Bible teacher and bestselling author of Jesus Over Everything

"It is easy to be drawn in by Melissa's conversational humor, but what is so essential about this book is the way she sees what often goes unnoticed. The contours of community for friends who are single and sometimes struggling to fit in are named in this book. It's a hopeful encouragement for people who need to know they're not alone."

Sandra McCracken, singer-songwriter and author

"I know few women as adept at cultivating deeply satisfying community as Melissa Zaldivar. When she says, 'Get over here!' you'll want to be the first to show up."

Clarissa Moll, author and producer of Christianity Today's The Bulletin
