My mom gave this book to me I think when I was in middle school. I was hesitant to read it at first, and it sat in my room gathering dust for a year or two. But then I finally picked it up and read it. I do not regret it. This book has some great points regarding dating, and I think it is definetely worth your time. I'm glad my mom gave it to me! I didn't agree with everything the author said, but overall, it really encouraged me to set boundaries.

how refreshing! it is great to hear a young man say out loud what many of us are thinking. the modern dating habits that have even invaded the church are so destructive. i really appreciated the author's disclaimer that this was not a "how to" book but rather his story about how he came to some conclusions about the matter. rather than asking us to do what he does he is simply asking us to re-examine why we do what we do! the follow up Boy Meets Girl about how he met his wife and their courtship is a must read also!

I really loved the part in this book where he shares the dream that he had that illustrates Jesus paying for our sins with his blood.

This book had a negative backlash which I felt was undeserved. I felt that Josh Harris was very clear about the fact that the position that he presents is not for everyone. Readers don't need to fully subscribe to his plan, but I do think this book is worth reading and reflecting on the ideas that he presents.

He is not telling you not to have fun, have friends and live single all your life! He is simply sharing how to heartbreak-proof your life through focusing on a bible prespective of courting.

I wish I had read this book as a teen. I read it as a Youth Leader to help my group avoid the drama of dating, relationships, temptation and brokenhearts that I dealt with.

You will NOT regret this book!

If all Christians would follow this and other books about Courtship, the Kingdom of God would be strengthened. We have met many couples that have used philosophies similar to the ones found in this book extremely successfully and have enjoyed a fruitful marriage for many years.

Chritian approach to dating - may be helpful for young teens and those who are disenchanted with the dating world.

I thought it was good.

do you give away a piece of your heart each time you really start to like a date? How much is left when you want an all-consuming marriage. Joshua Harris hit the New York Times & the country stopped to listen, making him a best selling author. He's young, handsome, committed to a primo relationsihp with God. He talks about how much is achieved during friendship, whereas dating can drain your emotions & dilute your earthly vocation. so much packed into a wonderful book. Fresh insights garnered from friends & his experiences.

Incredible idea in our current society. A must read for anyone not happy with the traditional dating scene and highly reccomended for young people just starting out. Could save so much heartache.

Book in great condition. A little unrealistic, perhaps, but it\'s well worth the read. Provides a ray of hope in this overly sexualized society.
