A summary of this book:

This book is aimed at finding joy in God in singleness and dating and pursuing both in a way that would honour God and best prepare us for marriage if that is what God has for us.

What did you like about the book?

It really goes for the heart of matters and tries to centre everything around Jesus and finding our satisfaction in Him first. The author is vulnerable in sharing his own failings and what he has learned. He was only married for a year when he wrote this, so his experiences is singleness and dating are still fresh and relevant.

Some of the chapters could’ve really benefitted from more specific advice to complement the heart issues. For example, the chapter on boundaries could’ve been more helpful with some guidelines. It was still an excellent chapter though.
