Summary: Excellent insight!
Review: I'm a single intern youth minister and I found much in this book that I could learn from as well. Mr. Clark, if I might call him Jeramy, has done well at recognizing the fear that has helped to create a legalism in Christian circles. We have enslaved ourselves to statutes and laws again, rather than walking in the grace bestowed on us through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and keeping our Lord our focus. I think Jeramy has really hit on the essence of walking in grace. Although Joshua Harris' book, "I Kissed Dating Goodbye," is an excellent book, this book seems to me to get more to the heart of the matter.

Summary: Finally, the book we've all been praying for!
Review: I knew I didn't want to date the way many people in our schools today date. This book has given me guidelines on how I can enter into a healthy relationship with a girl and not compromise either her or my standards. I have given a copy of this book to a real fox from my youth group, and I am hoping she will give dating me a chance - because I sure don't want her to kiss dating me goodbye! If you want to date, this is a must read.

Summary: An excellent, well thought out response!
Review: I teach at a Christian middle school and have a teenage daughter who is interested in beginning dating. Several people had recommended "I Kissed Dating Goodbye", but after thumbing through it at my local book store I decided it was too hard line for me. I picked up this book and was immediately impressed by it's blurb on the back. Having now read it, I would highly recommend this to anyone who is uncomfortable with only one answer to the dating question for Christian teens. Jeramy Clark presents a biblical framework that is balanced and reasonable for our time. A must read for Christian teens and parents!!

Summary: A Good Perspective
Review: As someone who was previously a part of the "wait - never date!" group, this book was an excellent help when I did, in fact, start a "dating" relationship. While he does address some of the ideas put forth by Josh Harris, he does so in an honest and acceptable manner. I'd probably recommend this book over Harris', but if someone is looking for a slightly different take on relationships, Boy Meets Girl is a good read.

Summary: Clear terminology and practical advice
Review: Many people know me as "the guy with a million books on dating." It is true that I've read everything from the Christian "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" to the secular "Mars and Venus on a Date." After reading all these books, I can honestly say that Jeremy Clark does the most thorough, and well thought-out job out of any of them. He starts by giving a SOLID definition to the word DATE. Once he "convinces" the "holier-than-thou-Christians" that dating is not in direct violation of God's will, he continues to describe how we should choose which people to get to know, or "date." Clark puts a realistic spin on the mind-numbing dating propganda that has been perpetuated by Joshua Harris. He's open, honest, and completely Biblically balanced in his approach. I highly reccomend this book. Don't hesitate to buy based on the brain-washed, one-star, date-a-phobics.

Summary: Writer in Bad mood?
Review: Must have been something he ate, or something, cause this book is a direct attack on Joshua Harris' I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Not only is it unpleasing in God's eyes, it's just plain rude. His basic ideas are almost identical to what Joshua Harris says, but Jeramy insists that his view is the right view and Joshua is completely wrong. He may have said the right things, but he needs to change his attitude.

Summary: A Good Perspective
Review: This book, on the whole, wasn't too bad. It is good to read to balance out the anti-dating/pro-courtship point-of-view. However, I was a bit disturbed with the chapter that fielded questions, in particular the answer to the question which basically went "what if I never get asked out?" for many ppl, especially many women and girls, there are a lot of issues (self-image, oppression, etc.) tied into such a concern, and it would have been better if the author didn't address this concern in such a trite way. A better book to recommend is "Choosing God's Best" by Don Raunikar. That book didn't completely condemn dating, but did criticize dating the world's way.
