Rating:  Summary: Too familiar Review: Hi. If you're in your early teens and you've never read a book on dating (and such things) before, this one might provide a couple of helpful ideas about God's standards and how we can conform to them. I really respect the authors' commitment. Even so, most of what they write seems to me a little shallow - even redundant... Maybe because the fact that they are married just doesn't discount the reality that they still are very young.On a personal note, I liked Joshua Harris' books ("I Kissed Dating Goodbye" combined with "Boy Meets Girl") better. You might find them a little too radical, but Jeramy and Jerusha themselves say that we should aim high. Of course, by God's help, you will be the one to create your own individual love-life-story and no one can tell you how to do what, but in my opinion, Joshua's ideas simply provide a better foundation (especially for young people living in America). I also recommend P.B. Wilson's "Knight In Shining Armor", a good book for single (adult) women.
Rating:  Summary: This book is a must have for every single person! Review: I've read dozens of books on dating, and this out of all of them provides a clear picture of who I need to look for and who I need to be. "I Gave Dating a Chance" was a great book that really laid the foundation for biblically based balanced dating. If you haven't read that then make sure to grab that. I was excited to hear that they were giving writing a chance, again. They truly topped themselves. This book communicates with sincerity a bold call to maintain high standards. Rather then just saying "I want a Christian guy/girl" the reader is educated on the specifics. I found myself checking my own personality constantly while reading this book. How am I becoming a HOT person? Still a work in progress for sure, but now with more of a focus, growth is inevitable. Working in High School ministry and being constantly bombarded with questions on this specific topic, it is nice to have a concise answer in paperback form. I would recommend this book to anyone who desires to date and eventually marry a person after God's heart.
