Summary: Not a Christian, but book brought up good points
Review: I started reading this book because the author is the pastor of a friend's church and he seemed like a really nice guy when I met him (he still seems like a nice guy ^_^).

Anyways, though there are some points that do seem silly to the layman, I think he also brings up some good points that apply to Christians as well as non-christians.

I started reading this book as a critic, and I definitely don't agree with everything he says. But there are points about love vs. lust that I think everyone should consider before professing love for a person.

Yes, I think dating is healthy during teenage years and that it doesn't seem like a good idea to start dating when you want to get married (exact opposite point of the book). But despite these differences, and despite me not being a Christian, I find myself going through the book every so often to see what Joshua Harris has to say about the problem me or one of my friends is in.

Summary: Don't Let Title Scare Ya
Review: I was terrified to read this book for years. Finally I went through a tough break up, but I remained friends with the young woman. It was actually her mother who bought the book, read it first and encouraged both of us to read it. Still scared to read it, I was hesitant, but decided to give it a go. It took a chapter and a half, roughly 30 pages, to completely change my mindset on dating. You're free to take the words of this book in any way you want, but one thing is for sure: you'll have a new perspective to think about. The book focuses more on serving God in your life than it does on dating too, so if that's something you real need right now, as I did, then this book will definitely get you started down the right path. I have made the decision not to date until I reach the point in life that I know I can begin thinking about marriage. I have also decided not to kiss until my wedding day. I want to save myself completely for that special person God has waiting for me. Read this book! You won't regret it for a second!
