~ finding the right voice ~
It has always been tricky to navigate relationships between men and women, and Christians only make matters worse with a plethora of contradicting opinions on the righteous way to "do" Romance. Questions have been swirling around the dating issue for at least a generation, but the Church is still groping to find the right road. Followers of Christ want to be able to say, "This! This is the way God wants us to pursue romance! " but still we have mostly questions: Do I have to stop dating once I'm a Christian? What's so bad about dinner and a movie? Isn't dating a normal part of life and won't it mess up my kids' lives if they don't date? What about those who gave up dating... for years... and still are not married? What are they doing wrong? Throwing all human opinions out the window, author Sarah Smith interacts exclusively with the principles of Scripture to shine light onto the best way to Romance. Knowing that the complications of relationships touch many different groups within the Church, Sarah writes to them all: single Christians, parents striving to teach their children, and church leaders with a responsibility to disciple. In other words, she writes to everyone seeking to live and lead others according to God's idea of love.
