Book Description

Unravel the Mystery From Internet dating to reality television, finding the perfect mate can be a complicated, challenging, and frustrating process for the single Christian living in the 21st century. How do you know if you've met "the one"? What qualities should you look for in a potential mate? How can you be sure your marriage will last? Pastor and evangelist Greg Laurie speaks to the single Christian with honesty and sensitivity as he discusses what the Bible has to say on the subject of dating, love, and marriage-and how you can apply it to your life today. Also included is a six-week Bible study for couples who are engaged or contemplating marriage. What does the Bible say about dating? How do you "break the ice"? What's the difference between falling in love and growing in love? What about sex and Christians? How do you know which one to marry?

Book Description

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Book Description

This ground-breaking resource challenges and equips Christians to think and act biblically and compassionately in matters of sexuality. Sexual abuse, sex addiction, gender confusion, brokenness, and shame plague today's world, and people are seeking clarity and hope. By contesting long-held cultural paradigms, this book equips you to see how sexuality is rooted in the broader context of God's heart and His work for us on earth. It provides a framework from which to understand the big picture of sexual challenges and wholeness, and helps you recognize that every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual one. It shifts the paradigm from combating sexual problems to confidently proclaiming and modeling the road to sacred sexuality. Instead of arguing with the world about what's right and wrong about sexual choices, this practical resource equips you to share the love and grace of Jesus as you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness--your own or someone else's.

Book Description

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.

Book Description

We're bombarded with antichristian messages everywhere in life, and from casual hookups to casual sex, our culture's messages on dating are no different.But Christians don't have to follow these norms. The Bible gives us a better way.It's a way of chastity and wisdom. A way that understands that marriage-the end goal of dating-is for life. The person you marry will shape who you become spiritually. And that person will also be the father or mother to the children God is pleased to give you some day.Pastorally and accessibly, Joshua Engelsma answers the practical questions of Reformed, Christian dating based on the truth that we must date differently-with marriage as the goal and scripture as the guide.
