Whether or not you're currently dating someone, if you're a young person thinking about romance, you probably have a lot of questions. Who should you date? How do you turn down an unwanted date, navigate a first date, or break up with someone? Is kissing OK? Is marriage really for you? The Bible is sufficient to help you to think through the concerns of singleness and dating, and it has crucial things to say about the thoughts, attitudes, actions, and situations that commonly arise in this exciting stage of life. In friendly, practical letters, Sean and Spencer (and sometimes their wives, Jenny and Taylor) explore God's Word for answers on singleness, the start of a relationship, and tough dating situations, from breakups to broken boundaries. Their biblical insights will help you to make informed decisions on the road ahead.

The goal of this book is not to “argue a particular dating method or give a play-by-play of ‘courtship.’ Instead, our goal is to demonstrate how the Bible gives meaningful and practical advice when it comes to pursuing romance.” And that they did. While this book is geared to those who are dating or have dating in mind, it really reflects the truth that is the Gospel for any stage of a relationship. I am encouraged by Spencer and Shaun’s love for the Church and, more importantly, their love for Christ.

People liked this book for several reasons. It addresses difficult topics in a concise short letter format. This makes it easy to read (5 hours or so for the entire book), as well as accessible to many. The authors also make some really good points especially with respect to contentment and understanding character issues.
