When 19-year-old Jennifer Maggio found herself pregnant...for the fourth time...she was completely lost-lost in a tragedy wrought by years of sexual abuse, homelessness, and poverty. What she didn't know at the time was that she was the main character in a story that God would one day use to inspire, encourage, and challenge thousands of people just like her...and some whose stories were very different from hers. From that deep valley Jennifer rose to the summit of Corporate America-only to leave it all behind to minister to single moms. In The Church and the Single Mom Jennifer provides a road map for those who, like her, look out at the nearly 17 million single moms in the U.S. alone, many of whom are drowning in financial struggles, parenting woes, and emotional.
