Andrew Denver Said: Sound, Christian Advice But Lacks Biblical Depth ( Jul. 25th 2010 )

There's nothing wrong with this book, but I found it to be just another average book on Christian dating with scattered biblical advice. There's no question, though, that the advice is solid and should be followed. You can't argue that saving sex for marriage, not living together before marriage, not being unequally yoked, taking it slow, using your brain, etc. are bad things of course. The book clearly benefited from having a clinical psychologist (Adams) as a co-author, and both authors proved their case, through numerous examples, that they knew what they were talking about from experience.

The shortcomings, though, are apparent since some important topics remained untouched. I think the authors limited themselves to their advice by trying to neatly wrap their concepts into the "10 commandments of dating" and as a result, some information is repeated or left out entirely. The book leaves me wanting more insight into how to behave in a relationship and how to really relate to the other person. More emphasis is given to secular studies and findings rather than biblical concepts. What are the biblical roles of each sex? What's the man's duty and what's the woman's duty? Instead, the book seemed to focus more on what not to do in a relationship. I understand this was the whole theme of the book, but equal attention should have been placed on what to do so it didn't seem so negative. To be fair, each chapter tries to present this information, but it's lost in the authors' approach in relying on too many case studies of singles they've guided and where they went wrong. Also, the language and tone of the book, at times, can be a little distracting, with the authors trying too hard to be hip and culturally relevant.

If you want to read a book that demonstrates a more comprehensive biblical approach with a fresh, unique angle, I would definitely recommend reading "Holding Hands, Holding Hearts: Recovering a Biblical View of Christian Dating" by Richard and Sharon Phillips. They weave in citations from 24 books of the Bible and the book flows seamlessly.


needabook7 Said: Great book for all who date ( Jun. 27th 2010 )

I purchased this book for my daughter and read it before she did. Then I bought some for teenage friends. We all are reading it and find that it contains a lot of wisdom.

M. F. Martin Said: Great guide for gals and guys ( Apr. 13th 2010 )

I enjoyed reading this book. I actually read it along with a girlfriend and a boyfriend. Both had different opinions (of course). But the common belief among all of us is that this is one man's opinion, like so many other relationship books. You can relate the suggestions in the book to your beliefs whether religious or not. There were definitely some "ah-ha" moments and strategies worth trying.

J. Johnson Said: There are better dating books out there ( Feb. 12th 2010 )

I was disappointed in this book. It has some generally good advice, but I found it overly simplistic and the tone of the book annoyed me--I found it a little condescending and too rule-based, but perhaps that was just me. It is after all, called the Ten Commandments! The major concepts are helpful, but there are other dating books that cover similar material on a deeper level and from a more nuanced perspective.
