Rating:  Summary: okay... Review: A lot of the advice written in here is very good but a lot of it also isn't. Some of it is so obvious but anyhow, I felt that the author pushed the point that people should take it upon themselves to find Mr. Right. When we should really trust God to do it for us, I've read dozens of dating/courting books and the one that I like best is "When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy." Its more realistic.
Rating:  Summary: Could have been Excellent ... Review: I really enjoyed this book until I reached pages 125 - 152 where the author(s) begin to tell us (women) "Where and How to Look for Mr. Right". Anyone who knows the Bible knows that women are "good things to be FOUND". We have no business looking for men, researching the web (Eharmony.com - the author(s) really pushed this website, it makes one wonder...?), having friends/family "set us up" etc. This is not biblical. Yes, God desires that we marry. God presents the woman to her man just has he presented Eve to Adam, Eve didn't run around looking for Adam. Eve was made for and presented to Adam.Disturbingly enough, there's also a chapter that not only encourages, but also shows women how to FLIRT! In this chapter, you will find your "flirting style" and find that "flirting is fun!" I can't find any reference to "biblical flirting" in the Bible, therefore you won't find me doing it. Other than the chapters I spoke of, I liked the book. It was thought provoking and covered issues other books on courting and relationships do not. I gave the book 3 stars because anyone lacking wisdom and who may not be rooted and grounded in the Word of God may do as the book suggests in those 2 chapters and be in for a rude awakening.

Rating:  Summary: Great Book but should have left out the bible quotes Review: I throughly enjoyed book. I found it to be fresh. I have read almost every relationship book out there and found this to be a keeper. I am 54 and don't feel I need to "save" myself for marriage. I have passed over the "preaching" lightly with humor. Buy this book you'll definely learn something from it.
