Dr. Conway Edwards, the singles pastor at Oak Cliff Bible Church in Texas, along with his wife, Jada, writes from the heart to Christian singles about the best way to prepare for marriage. Discussing courtship and dating from a biblical perspective, they also share their personal story- including the mistakes they made along the way. The result is a thought-provoking, encouraging manual on making the most of your single years, and getting yourself ready for marriage. This hard-hitting manual is both warm and honest as the Edwards share their stories of singless and marriage, as well as unearth many gems found in God's Word regarding relationships and the importance of personal spiritual maturity. Treasures include: Definition of a R.E.A.L. man Six behaviors of a godly man How women S.E.R.V.E. as a helpmate Eight behaviors of a godly woman Seven biblical truths regarding relationships and marriage Using F.A.I.T.H. to identify lasting qualities in a mate Seven-point character inspection Frequently Asked Questions regarding Christian dating and relationships
This is a book that would be applicable for the newly dating to the older single. (I gave a copy to my 15 year old twins and my 30 year old single son.) Focusing on what's really important in a mate AND in your own life, it really gives a good argument against what I call "recreational dating." My 15 year old daughter did this as a book study with several other girlfriends and it totally changed her attitude. I highly recommend it.

Inquiring Minds of Single Christians Want to Know!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
When Love's in View is a great book that encourages single believers to stay focused on God and remain content while serving Him. Biblically based with practical insight and transparent examples from the authors' own experiences, this book is a true testament to God's faithfulness when we seek Him first and live to please Him with our lives. I especially enjoyed the Q & A section in the back of the book which went more in depth with the concept of "Christian dating," and featured Questions such as, "Why does it seem that many Christian men prefer not to court the Christian ladies in their own church?" Excellent read and a must have for Christian singles!
