Summary: Wow! Wow! Wow!
Review: This book is so incredibly life changing everyone should read it. Don't dismiss the book by its title. This book is very cool and very comforting in the fact that I've discovered that there's one person out there somewhere that God has for me that I will spend the rest of my life with, and I don't have to go through painful dating relationships to find her either. Read this Book!

Summary: A Teenager's Perspective to Dating
Review: Joshua Harris did a great job bringing the idea of not dating to a teenagers and a Christians perspective. I thought that the book was a great piece of work that all teenagers should read, even if they are dating someone. At first, I wasn't sure about the book, but when I read on, I saw that he wasn't condemning dating, but showing teenagers that there is another way for them to improve their relationships. He showed how God can improve relationships through a life of love, truth, purity, and especially singleness. I thought that showing a Christianity perspective on dating is an excellent idea that parents should teach their children about. Joshua Harris doesn't single out any person in his book. He opens the book up to those who are dating, aren't dating, or those who are curious. By doing so, he allows the reader to enjoy the book without having them think that they are doing something wrong. I really enjoyed the opener to the book about the soon-to-be husband, who had given his heart to many other women before his wife. He also uses examples of experiences from the lives of many teenagers in his book. He does this to show teenagers that dating isn't a game where the highest score wins, but a relationship that should be taken seriously and should be given a large amount of thought. My favorite part of the book was when Joshua said that being single should not be seen as a bad thing, it is a moment in life where someone can improve their relationships with friends, but most of all with God. This is a great book that I know is worth the time reading.

Summary: Harris makes people in deinal extreemly uncomfortable...
Review: I just read this book this past weekend. I am a Christian male who has been in a number of relationships that I am not proud of. After reading the first chapter I could not put this book down. Josh began to point out all of the areas that had lead to the detriment of my past relationships. I began to realize all that I had done and how wrong I was to have done it. As I was reading the other reviews I began to look at those who gave it low marks (very few people I might add) In reading their reviews I came to the realization that this book made them uneasy. Not because it was a bad book but because it struck a chord with them. Odds are that they are in the middle of a relationship and do not want to admit that they are wrong... give them a few months after they break up and see what they say then. I loved this book and am going to be spending the next few months reading others to help educate myself further on godly relationships to prepare myself for the woman that God has for me. One of the things that I realized is I do not need to date so that I will be able to find that perfect person... God has found her... I just have to be prepared for her.

Summary: Read it along with your teenager.
Review: My 17-year old son and I read this book over the same time period (he actually finished it first). He had recently experienced two girlfriend breakups and was devastated by them both. After reading, "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" he wished he would have read it before. He now uses knowledge from the book to talk to his peers about what he learned. He and I would recommend the book to everyone.

Summary: God finally answered my thoughts about dating through Joshua
Review: I just finished reading this book. It was probably one of the best books I have ever read dealing with this topic. I always felt weird about not wanting to date while all my friends were. They would all get hurt or hurt their partners and I never knew why they kept on putting themselves through the agony. Eventhough it was tough for the holidays (ie. valentines,) I always knew God would answer, and he did through Joshua. Now I'm waiting on him for my man, and it's pretty tough being 24yrs while most of my dear friends are getting married, but EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL in his time. That is what I'm clinging to. God has truly blessed Joshua with the gift of writing, and I am thankful for this book!!!!! I recommended to everybody. thanks Malin

Summary: The best book to get your focus off romance and on God!
Review: Before reading this book I was seeing a few guys and had just come out of a serious relationship. After reading this book I turned all my relationships into friend based ones. I realized boys shouldn't be my focus and God should. God will send someone when it's time.

Summary: Bravo! A must-read on having God-pleasing relationships
Review: The title of this book caught my attention. When I finally got to read it, I was impressed with the honesty of Josh to inform of the disadvantages of dating and that there really is a better way. I was so encouraged by the stories and the points that he had brought out about spurring one another on to godliness in relationships. He really got the point across that we are to be about honoring one another as brothers and sisters in Christ and going beyond the status quo in our preparation for marriage.As I read it,it greatly reminded me of an AWESOME, loving Father who sees the BIG picture, knows what is best for us, and will release the reality of these blessings in areas of our lives (including our love lives), if we just surrender and leave those areas up to Him. The book is sincere in its addressing of struggles that we all deal with and shows scrip- tures that encourage how to live out God-pleasing relationships. I HIGHLY reccomend this book to anyone who is struggling in the area of relationships or to anyone who is just serious about going about han- dling relationships with the opposite sex God's way. However you are, whatever your view on dating, I suggest being open and checking it out.

Summary: Just Put off the DTR as long as possible
Review: After seeing the preponderence of 5 star reviews of this book, I realized that there is a great need for more objective, honest reviews of this book. Josh sets out on a noble quest: spark thinking and awareness regarding our dating relationships. They can be damaging and unhealthy. Unfortunately he uses an attention getting title and a new "idea" that really doesn't live up to the hype. What is Josh saying? Put off the DTR as long as possible. (the Define The Relationship talk) He DOES advocate dating, he just redefines it a bit so that he can use his snappy title. He DOESN'T have anything new to say. Though he says good things, he's really just pretending to say something different. Read Elizabeth Elliot's Passion and Purity First. Josh isn't worth your time.

Summary: Life Changer!
Review: When my best friends gave me this book as a gift, I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time! I love God and want nothing more than to serve him with my utmost, but I lacked in knowledge when it came to relationships. So with a heart that has been broken more than once I began to read this book and found myself changing word by word. I want to thank Joshua Harris for allowing God to use him in a mighty way. I teasure this book and have read it to pieces! I teach it with my example of living it, and with this I hope to touch many young people's hearts before the mistake and pain.

Summary: Best book for any teenager
Review: This is the best book I have ever read. It is an all out attack out the evil system of dating in our society. Any teen who calls themselves a christian and does not agree with this book is either weak or lying.
