Read It All
Format: Hardcover
First Impression and Why I Bought It: This book was very informative and may be a fresh read for some people. I bought it during a time of my life when I wasn't sure what I wanted out of my relationship because I was struggling with an unrealistic and teenage way of dating as a young adult.
About/From the Book: I learned the value of singleness and what it would mean to move forward in a healthy, committed relationship. It can be a good basis for any young person looking for guidance in how to maximize your singleness; learning yourself--what you like and don't like, what you want to do/don't--how to set realistic expectations for yourself in pursuit of a partner, how dating should go based on biblical standards but it teaches how to do that in a practical and modern way. Throughout the book the value in your relationship with God and how the value of that relationship flows into your romantic, friend, and business/work-related relationships is tied together. So if you're single or dating and you want to gain a different perspective of how to navigate your period of singleness using a modern biblical practice but also just relevant to Gen X, check this out.
Would I recommend? Yes.
Who would I recommend it to? 18-24 y/os.
My Appliances: Ironically, after reading this book I did take up new skill, figured out what I wanted in my relationship, and recommend it to a friend who bought a copy. And regarding the biblical based modern dating technique, it can be done, it just takes maturity and restraint. Although being an adult where I am now in life, I think that if you're with someone that you know, that you know you're going to marry then hiccups may occur when trying to apply that, especially when you're attracted to that person, haha.
Conclusion: Please read the book in an objective format, yes some things can be taken literally, but life isn't gonna happen the way he describes it. These are just rules of thumb to reference as you do life and apply at your own discretion.
