   I was at a Barnes and Noble looking for “My utmost for His Highest” and stumbles across this jewel of a book – seriously, had to be the Lord leading me to it, I’d never have found it otherwise!

   And of course, I’m a single young woman (25) who was only saved by the Grace of God this March and have MUCH LEARNING TO DO ABOUT CHRISTIAN RELATIONSHIPS.

   I have dated A LOT before being saved and only one man after the fact … and have “habits” like getting too involved too quickly, falling head over heels, thinking he’s “the one” and generally just giving too much of myself to a man. this book has helped me actually recognize what i’ve been doing and WHY IT HAS NOT WORKED THUS FAR!

   This book tells you things you should know … you read and say to yourself, “well, sure, I’ve heard that bofore.” But then they actually explain WHY and WHY NOT and apply it to life. It’s is what the commentary/concordance of a Bible is for DATING. ROCKS MY SOCKS.

   I’m actually reading it concurrently with “Anticipatience” another book geared specifically toward single Sisters and written by a lady who is yet-to-be-wed. That part, that she’s single, isn’t as discouraging as you might think – in fact, not at all. It’s the opposite of what most books are: “I was single ONCE, and this is how I met the perfect man” — guess what? We’re reading because we HAVEN’T found ours yet. So we don’t really wanna read about your romance and how we need to just “focus on serving” until that magical moment comes.

   This book “Anticipatience” VALIDATES our desires for love/relationship/marriage instead of saying “just keep running for the Lord and the man of your prayers will show up” … because hey, God GAVE US THOSE DESIRES AS WOMEN … so we shouldn’t ignore ‘em.

   AMEN.

   I really enjoyed this book. Both authors did a very good job of giving real scenarios in dating. They also offered very practical advise. There was no sense of over romanticized view of Christian dating. Dating is a vehicle for learning not just marriage. I’m glad that was emphasized in the book. I recommend this book for those in the dating scene already not for people who are single and looking. Single folks will have to look elsewhere.

   This is a wonderful resource for anyone who is considering dating from a “healthy” perspective. I say “healthy” because sometimes we think that socializing or interacting with the opposite sex is something that comes naturally. After four years of being single (divorced), I need all the help I can get to help me make better decisions and also work on my not so great areas. The authors do a great job of discussing issues with self-love, boundaries, and childhood experiences that might get projected into relationships. I appreciated the honest and realistic approach that acknowledges and addresses “loneliness” and how it can cloud your judgement if you do not pay attention.

   I think everyone Christian or not should read this book before dating. It has very helpful information for having a healthy relationship and how to choose the right partner for you. I wish I would have read it before I started dating, but reading it while in a relationship is also very helpful.

   I really enjoyed this book a lot. It really points out the pitfalls that come with dating and didn’t do it in a judgmental way. When you’re single and looking to meet someone, dating is inevitable and this book really helps. Another really great book I read on this subject is Dating Sense: The Practical Way to Meet, Date and Marry the Right Person. While it’s not religious in nature, it takes a very realistic and mature approach to dating.
