About this book

The Bible has some fascinating stories of how two people meet and marry—like the Genesis story of Isaac, Rebekah and their thirsty camels. But you’ll search in vain for Bible stories that resemble the modern-day custom we call ‘dating’, or for explicit teaching from Jesus or his apostles on the topic. So how do we navigate the modern road from singleness to marriage, which is paved with potential pitfalls, temptations and hurts—unhelpfully influenced as we are by our culture’s godless view of dating and sex?

At last, a thoroughly biblical book on dating that acknowledges how little the Bible speaks about it! If you want to know the why and how of dating through a gospel-saturated framework that dares to explore the impact of everything from Jane Austen to pornography, then this book is for you. So much biblical wisdom from an author who has spent his lifetime serving young adults.

Many Christians are confused about dating, and this excellent little book will help them to have greater clarity and joy about it. For the past couple of decades, Paul Grimmond has pastorally helped countless men and women understand dating. His wisdom and experience are seen on every page of this book. If you’re considering dating either now or in the future, then I highly recommend reading this yourself. It would also work well as a gift or for parents to read with their older teens.

Jane Tooher Director of the Priscilla and Aquila Centre, Moore Theological College

A careful, considered theological treatment of dating, spliced together with a rich mine of pastoral insights. This is such a helpful book to hand out to youth and young adults at church!
