I Kissed Dating Goodbye: A New Attitude Toward Relationships And Romance

Rating:
Summary: It helps you to see how selfish you really are. . .
Review: . . . so if you don't want to be told, don't read this book. But if you know yourself and dating in general to be missing that mark of morality (even by just a little bit) all your thoughts will be confirmed by this book. However, rather than dwell on how dating is sinful, etc., "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" shows you what a wonderful thing it is to have a relationship with someone of the opposite sex. But the real point, and the thing which hits home for me, is that even though having that relationship would feel so good now, it would feel so much better later, when you're really ready for it! In short this book preaches patience and a heart willing to listen to and to heed the wishes and commands of God.

Summary: WOW!! I like this new attitude! Its about time!!
Review: This book was one of the most truthful books I've ever read in regards to upholding God's standards towards dating! Josh Harris hits the nail right on the head! His perspective, backed up by scripture and experience, makes one realize the seriousness of the whole dating scene as it stands now! God didn't intend for His children to hurt! Hold on all you young single people out there! He has the most awesome plan for you!!!

Summary: The Best Book Ever
Review: I wish I had read this book before I began dating. I could have saved a lot of time and could have saved a lot of hurt if I would have taken heed of Harris' advice. A must read for teenagers, young adults, and singles. May God Bless you as you read this book.

Summary: Parents should read this book too.
Review: This book is a real eye-opener (and heart-opener) for the parents as well as the teens and young adults it is written for. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because I felt that the author did not give enough information on the alternatives to dating and good practical suggestions for wholesome and happy pre-dating/engagement. I also felt that it might keep some young adults (I don't mean teens) from being open to whatever God might be calling them to without undue fear. But the truths and principals are right on in this book. I would like to communicate with other parents or young adults about this book because it is so thought provoking.

Summary: This book will change you!!!
Review: When I heard about this book I thought "Why would anyone want to kiss dating goodbye?" but then I read it and my view on dating and relationships did a complete 180. Lots of times in my life I'd pursue a relationship and it would totally defect and my heart would be broken, and I'd go "God, why?" and when I read this book I realized it was because I was going against what God wanted me to do. I totally reccomend this book to anyone, and even if you don't agree with it you will be glad that you read it!!

Rating:
Summary: great book with directions that will never lead you astray!!
Review: I am a 16 year old male, just about the time when that whole dating scene gets into full swing, and one of my good friends that is a girl wanted me to read this book--i did, and honestly it is one of the most helpful guides i have ever read--complete with scripture backup, i suggest you read this book ASAP before you even consider dating someone--Keep GOD first!! :)

Summary: A Gen-Xer's view of dating!
Review: I have found this book to be one of the best on the subject of dating vs. courtship. One reason I like it is that it does not say "you must do ____ to be a Christian or to court 'right'." He says right off that he is not the expert. At the time that he authored this, he was not even married! But he does give principles and ideas to let you decide how YOU should act. Another thing that gives Joshua Harris validity in my mind is the soul searching he went through to arrive at the point he was when he wrote this book. He has dated. In fact, when he was younger, it was after breaking yet another girl's heart, that he decided that there must be a better way! And so he spent time researching, praying, talking to responsible adults, and reading his Bible. Then he came to the conclusion that dating wasn't the only way to do it. This is someone MY age writing about how to find a mate. He lives in my world. This is a must read! Even if it doesn't change your mind, it will challenge your thinking!
