| Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship by Multnomah Books My favorite dating "Go-To" | | I recommend this book to all my friends who are in relationships or are single but are wanting to look at how inter-gender relations ought to be carried out, biblically. My boyfriend and I read it and it has been a great "yellow line" (reference to an analogy Harris gives) for us. | | Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship by Multnomah Books Excellent! | | I've read some mixed reviews on this book, so I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved this book. It was clear cut, honest and based on the Word. This book was great. I am currently in a relationship "with a purpose"- and while we agreed on it's purpose from the start, I was unsure of the specifics. This book was so thorough- it answered all my questions, and shed light on the gray areas. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering courting, in the midst of a Courtship, or just wondering what it's all about. The author uses real life examples to illusrate the principles being discussed. It also provides insight on everything from broaching the subject of courtship/marriage to how to handle it if your interests is not reciprocated to discussing/accepting one another's pasts. Simply stated, this is a great book. It tells the truth without preaching at you. | | Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship by Multnomah Books Dumb | | I read this book and decided I do not like Joshua Harris that much, the book itself wasn't very helpful. | | Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship by Multnomah Books Skeptical at first but highly recommend | As a reformed Christian, I had kind of dismissed Joshua Harris as the typical evangelical writer of the day, more secular psychology than biblical teaching. A man I respected recommend "Sex is not the Problem, Lust is" which I read and benefited from, so when the parents of the girl I'm dating asked me to read this, I was very willing.
It's a solid book with a lot of practical help in how to intelligently evaluate whether the two of you should marry. | | Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship by Multnomah Books great book! | | This book is really good for high school age, when your about to start dating--read this first! I read it when I was in High school and for me it really let me know where to draw the line in my relationships. I'm so glad I read it, I truely learned so much.. and it was interesting. Alot of sweet stories that blow your mind. If you want God's will and his standard in your relationships... read this book. It's very instructional on how to date and who to date AND most importantly please God. | | Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship by Multnomah Books Product Description | Purpose Driven Romance

New! Courtship Conversations
Eight ideas for great dates that will help grow and guide your relationship.
Story Behind the Book
“I wrote I Kissed Dating Goodbye to challenge singles to drop the worldly approach to serial dating and reconsider the way they pursued romance in light of God’s Word. Since then, I’ve received letters asking questions like, So, what comes between friendship and marriage? and, How can you know when you are ready for marriage? Boy Meets Girl answers those questions. Now as a happily married man I can look back on my courtship with Shannon and see from personal experience that God is faithful. If you trust Him enough to wait on romance in dating, He will lovingly guide you as you pursue it in courtship…right to that wonderful moment when you kneel together at the altar.” — Joshua Harris | | Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship by Multnomah Books Amazon.com | | Joshua Harris follows up his bestselling I Kissed Dating Goodbye with Boy Meets Girl, the story of how he met and married his wife, Shannon. Where Harris's first book encouraged readers to throw off modern ideas of romantic fixation, Boy Meets Girl goes to the next level and urges single Christian men and women to pursue courtship, and ultimately marriage, thoughtfully and prayerfully. Knowing that many readers will balk at the idea of premeditated courtship, Harris insists that dating should not be emotional recreation but rather a careful decision rooted in obedience to God. While the anecdotes used to reveal true-to-life scenarios about dating pitfalls are somewhat elementary (and geared to those in their 20s), Harris succeeds in hammering home the point that obedience to God's word, selfless love, community, purity, and satisfaction in God are the most important aspect of any relationship. The last section of the book is particularly practical, discussing forgiveness of past sexual sin, questions to ask before tying the knot, and how an understanding of our sinful nature can lead to conflict resolution. For Harris's mere twentysomething years of life experience, his maturity and devotion to God are sincere evidence that he has indeed practiced what he has preached, resulting in a passionate relationship with the love of his life. --Jill Heatherly |
