Summary: Awesome! Eye-Opening! Right -On!
Review: God used Josh to speak to me. He was right inline with what I needed to hear. I have decided to kiss dating goodbye as well. I'll read it over and over!

Summary: Obedience to God seems to be the key
Review: Fantastic book, even though I fall into the 30 something crowd now. The book offers a strong foundation on which to build a God-like dating relationship. Just as any other book written, it cannot cover every individual's situation. This book was obviously designed to get today's singles re-focusing on the "Right" ways of entering a God-designed relationship. At 9 bucks, you won't beat it for the message it delivers. Buy 2 copies and read it twice!

Summary: Not Relevant for Today
Review: The title of this book intrigued me, but the content disappointed. For singles who are closed-minded, or for latch-key children of fundamentalists, "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" *might* work as some kind of simplistic roadmap. For thinking and feeling types, the "advice" in here is useless. I also "kissed dating goodbye", but found constructive things to do instead and have not missed the meat market since. The author would have done better to focus on actual realistic situations and how to deal with them in a Biblical, but not fundamentalist, context. By the manner in which he wrote, the author has only added to singles' problems. We can be in Christ without all the nonsense in this kind of book.

Summary: Great Book To Laugh At!
Review: I am a Baptist preacher's son, and when I read Joshua Harris's "I Kissed Dating Goodbye," I just cracked up at how dumb this book is! It's absolutely illogical and wrong for our time and age. If Harris believes he can shape modern courtship with this load of bull, then he should pen books for the Amish! He's one of those over-conservative types who piss me off all the time with their crouching away from the real world. He would probably have nightmares after watching "Natural Born Killers" (a masterpiece, now that's a study of today's society)! I agree with his thinking in that, we should not have a dating life full of immorality. But the rest is hogwash. I'm a Hispanic, who lives a different lifestyle than the world of Harris. I would like to see him in my shoes, as a preacher's son, who faces more hardship than someone like him. I'm all for dating, and acting with moral boundaries. But "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" is an illogical book for our times and doesn't work for everyone. If you follow this formula, you must be really, really, really desperate. This guy has been living in a dreamworld of irrationality. I prefer to sit down and read Tim LaHaye & Jerry B. Jenkin's "Left Behind" series anyday than this load of bulls--t!

Summary: Insightful, entertaining, an amazing book!
Review: I Kissed Dating Goodbye gives insight to what godly relationships should be like. Through personal experience, I fully agree with what Joshua Harris has to say. As a young Christian man he shares many of the emotions, regrets, and hopes that young adults today possess. The book uses real-life stories to present these ideas and is entertaining and instructive.

Summary: Great book, especially for youth
Review: I think this is a great book, especially for young people who think getting into serious dating relationships is a way to act "grown up." I see so many high schoolers who get very emotionally involved with other teens, just to end up heart broken when it doesn't work out. This books focuses on keeping your relationship with God foremost, and trusting Him to guide your love life. I am currently about half way through leading a study group at my church based on this book, and it has really made an impact on the members of the group.

Summary: You must read this book!
Review: I wanted to read "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by the young author, Joshua Harris, for quite awhile until I finally took the time to sit down and read it. I read the book in less than a week and was completely astounded after my reading. I found myself able to relate to Joshua and his experiences. It helped to learn these new concepts from a young man near my own age. My favorite thing about the book is the real-life stories that make Joshua's concepts so real. My favorite parts are the very first stories about the wedding ceremony and also Joshua's amazing dream about the Wall which made Jesus Christ come alive in a whole new way. Ever since I've read this book, I've recommended it to others who have read it and have transformed their lives. I plan to give it as birthday and Christmas presents so that others can know this wonderful and much needed information in a thirsting world. My mother and I are hooked on Joshua's book and tapes; we listen to tapes in our car all of the time! (Fortunately, my church supplies every single Joshua Harris tape to borrow!) I can't wait until Joshua's next book, "Boy Meets Girl"! P.S. I've talked to many people who think that this book is all about why to stop dating. I must say that this book is totally not about that! The main point of the book is: whether you date or are purposely courting, the relationship between a man and a woman should be for the glory of God and also for the purpose of marriage and a long life together. Not just dating for the fun that comes along with it. :-)

Summary: That book Joshua wrote really made me think twice.
Review: Joshua has a talent for writing. He makes you think twice about dating no matter what age you are. I really think people young or old should read it. Joshua proves a point and states it really clear. I am glad I read that book. I have read it so many times that I can recite the certain parts that I liked. My favorite part is when this girl has a dream that she is getting married and her husband to be goes to make his vows and all these girls stand up and stand single file linking arm to arm to the young man. " Then the guy says," I am sorry that it had to be this way you see these are the girls i have given my heart to, and you get the rest." It makes you wonder: "Is that how my future love will be like?"

Summary: A Book for the Insane
Review: This information in this book is totally based on no real facts. The impression that I got from this book, is that we as Christians should expect God to drop everything into our laps. An example right in my life, is that I am currently looking for a new job. I could one, send out resumes, fill out job applications, go to employment services or talk to friends and family to see who maybe hiring. This according to Joshua Harris is wrong. According to Harris, I should just pray and God will drop a job opertunity in my lap. Otherwise, I may end hating my job or I may get fired, because this, according to Joshua Harris would not have taken place if I would have just let God drop it into my lap. The books statements that our dating should be done in groups can only be taken about half the extent that Joshua Harris states. If I really want to get know someone, I believe that one on one dating is probably the best way to do it. Many people tend to not open up in group situations but, only when they are one on one with someone. For someone who is shy this book is excellant, however for those who are not, this theory, is a rediculous one to follow. What disgusts me most about this book, is that most of my Christian female friends have bought into the garbage in this book. As a result, I really havn't gotten to know any of them more on a personal level because they refuse to open up at all. To me the book seems somewhat vague. He states that one should date in groups. The problem is that he never states an aproximate size for this group. To me a group of people would be three couples at most. Many of my female friends take this to the extreme by stating that this should be about ten or even more. If that is the case, how will I ever really get to know any of them. This book to some extent has made me to want give up dating women who I know are Christians, for fear that they may have read this book. As a result, I am think of turning to the ways many non-Christians take such as hitting the Bar or Club seen, the beach and even the personal ads or dating services. Yes, you should pray about the person who should date and marry. However, look for the oppertunities which God may present to you. Don't expect him always to come right out and tell you exactly. That seems to be the problem many Christians face today, they expect God to tell them specificaly rather then look at the opertunities, which he has opened for them already.
