 How to Get a Date Worth Keeping November 10, 2008
This book allows the single person an honest reflection of self. As a widow for 10 yrs., I've had to re-think so much. When I initially read this book 3 yrs. ago, I found myself getting out more & learning about me. When I sent this book to a friend, he said "so you think I need help?" (he's been engaged twice during the 3 yrs I've known him) I'll stop here.

This book is the healthiest most well rounded advice I have ever read. After reading this book and applying its principles I met a great guy in less than 6mths. Most Christian books I've read are full of broad religious themes. How to Get A Date Worth Keeping is not one of those books.This book is truly effective. If you follow the program exactly you will be successful in finding a Date Worth Keeping.

This book has some good ideas but unless you are ready to totally go out of your comfort zone and try some different tacticts this book isn't for you. You have to rethink some of your ideas on dating and that is not a bad thing but his idea of date every thing and any thing because it is "just a date", is too out there for me. He want's you to put Dating for marriage out of your head but ultimately isn't that why we date? We all have standards (religous views) and I am not going to put them to the side "just for a date". I plan on being equally yolked and don't want to accidentally fall in love with the wrong yolk because it is "just a date"

When compared with other Christian dating books this author's perspective seems secular. He mentions the fundamental importance of a personal relationship with God, and then focuses on practical ways of learning healthy dating patterns. The book is not directed at teenagers but adults who are either not dating or in a dating rut. He is a professional councilor and this book systematically addresses common psychological pitfalls involved with dating.
While some Christians might be disturbed with the idea of dating around, he emphasizes the importance of actively pursuing members of the opposite sex. This is not worldly dating; in his words "Dating is an activity where you do fun, meaningful things with interesting people." I like the way he emphasize the importance of casual dating as a way to strengthen one's dating muscle. "Dating is not about marriage!" I often fall into the trap of requiring an interesting person to pass my large list of internal marriage requirements before I'll think of asking her out to do something. This would be fine if I had a strong dating muscle, but my weak dating muscle leaves me feeling over-anxious and under-prepaired in the rare event I find a "worthy" candidate.
Of the half dozen dating books I've read this one is the most useful. In fact--I'm rereading it.
 If you want a DATE WORTH KEEPING, don't follow the guidelines of THIS book!!! January 1, 2008

This is absurd!!! Everything this book says goes against what God teaches us in the Bible regarding dating. The Bible teaches that our ONLY fulfillment in life is Jesus Christ. This book states that we can be completed by our spouse. AND DATING A NON-CHRISTIAN?!?! My parents always taught me not to date someone I wouldn't want to marry. It goes hand-in-hand with the love is blind thing. You can fall in love with anyone, even a non-Christian. Don't follow this man's advise. He obviously isn't very wise anyway (although I don't know how he achieved getting a doctorate degree?), and you're not going to find a date worth keeping with this advise!!!
