Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-02 00:00:00 Chelsea Mauck The messy game of dating. How ought a Christian to go about it? Well, maybe this book will help you, maybe not. The first chapter I found to be very helpful, encouraging, and Biblical....but after that the theology got very shallow, and Eagar seems to want to simply take the worldly form of dating and modify it. If you do plan to date (vs. courting) this book could be useful with it's ideas of where to meet Christian singles, locations for first dates, etc., but dating still doesn't seem to include the Biblical model of the parents being involved. It's still one boy and one girl leaving alone and getting to know each other in a date like setting. Personally, it seems to me, that dating teaches one how to be good at dating. On a date, everyone is at their best. You open doors for her, she focuses only on you. That's nice. It's probably important for a relationship to have those times. But it's probably more important to know what someone is like at home, with the family gathered together, with a pile of dishes to be done, or when a child spills orange juice. How is his work ethic? How is she with children? What does my dad think of him? These questions are more important to me than knowing if we can have fun for one night. Probably the main thing that sealed my disapproval for this book, was how Eagar deals with physical attraction. I understand that some people might struggle with feeling guilty for feeling attracted to someone's appearance, and they could stand to learn that this is part of life, and it's not necessarily wrong. But to base any part of your relationship on the physical is flimsy. To first be attracted to someone because of their appearance and then to following through because of that, I believe, is unwise. I hope my future husband isn't looking at my appearance and doesn't lose any of his love for me as I age and that appearance changes.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-12-30 00:00:00 Justin Williams I have to admit, from the first chapter of this book I wasn't too hip on it. I had some doubts from some of the things he was saying, but as I read on I understand why he was saying the things that he said. After finishing the book I would recommend it to anyone, even if you don't agree with everything he says, it does make you think about a lot of different things. As a single woman who has never had a relationship, it's hard to read books that talk about the relationship aspect and not enough about the single aspect. I thought this book had a good balance of both.
