Customer Reviews Average Customer Rating: (3 reviews)   Beautifully pure! February 7, 2007Reviewer: Chrystianna from MD I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! After me and my family read this book we decided that there was just no other way to serve God fully except through courtship. In this book I couldnt get over how much it could change a persons thought patterns. Before reading this book I had trouble in the area of keeping my thoughts pure and well just knowing how far was too far. After reading this book It was obvious. My eyes have been opened and my old thoughts began leaving imediatly. I hope this will help you like it helped me!!!  Boy Meets Girl March 15, 2006Reviewer: Anonymous from Texas The first five chapters are pretty much introductory fluff, and could have been condensed, but after that, he gets down to the nuts and bolts of how Christians who are dating or courting should relate to one another, and I found it extremely relevant and helpful. Great Book September 18, 2005Reviewer: Anonymous from NY This is a wonderful book. Not only does it state an alternative to dating, but it gives reasons why and also explains how to pursue a courtship relationship. Show all 3 reviews |
