This book was lent to me by a good friend (I’ll call her Lindsey). I must admit, I’m terrible at reading...well, finishing non-fiction books (especially the devotion kind). But after an awkward meeting with Lindsey during which I had to admit I hadn’t even started the stack of books she had given me, I finally buckled down and started reading...only to stop three chapters later due to certain issues of the heart.
It teaches the importance of your relationship with Christ, of serving and loving others more than yourself, of living truly a set-apart life for God. Once you have the foundation, you can have a truly fulfilling single-season and God-written romance.
But the Ludy’s don’t stop there.
They tell of their own experience through the world’s messed up dating system and how they each came to hold their views of dating and marriage. They encourage and exhort those who seem ‘stuck’ in the season of singleness and offer practical advice on how to make the most of these years in ‘the wilderness’. And to those who feel like they have tainted their purity and ruined their chances at a God-written love story, they offer the blood of Christ.
If this had been just another book on Christian marriage and dating, it would have hardly made a difference in me. It speaks some harsh truths, but those always turn out to be the ones worth listening to.
