I bought this book many months ago and read it in two weeks.

It was good and useful but I wasn’t smart enough to really use and follow the main points mentioned in this book, such as, “putting God first,” walking the “friendship ladder,” and “what to look for in a partner.” Starting last week, I was hoping to reread some of the books I bought regarding friendship and Christian dating…And my eyes kept starring at this book, so I picked it up and read it (again), but now, everything fall into place and makes total, complete sense. Folks, to save your time, money and energy, I highly recommend you get this book and the two books below.

If money is the issue, save up as much as you can just to get this book alone. Read it and reread it along with your regular daily devotion with God, because the truth is, every marriage should be based on a strong relationship and every strong relationship should derived from strong friendship.

To build each step by step well, it takes time and patience, but is possible, especially with the help of God and Holy Spirit.

The best part about this book is that all the necessary information is packed in only 140 pages: 96(dating) 44 (engagement)!! Many of you can read that in one day, especially when you’re used to reading college textbooks.

Also this book is a guideline to marriage.

Although Dr. Munroe doesn’t teach life after marriage, this book leads the readers to a successful marriage.

It is made in the order from, preparing to date, finding the right person as well as know what to look for, then onto building friendships and lastly, engagement. Let me warn everyone not to speed up a friendship or relationship because knowing your “significant other” takes great amount of time. Just like you can’t lose wight overnight or know God overnight, nor should you try to know your partner overnight.

In my scenario, the biggest mistake I’ve made was going too far with a girl before knowing who she was on the inside.

The friendship wasn’t developed maturely or long enough and now I’ve caused a wound in her heart and wasted my own time & money, whereas I could have found the right person elsewhere.

Anyways, I hope none of you go through my phase. I wish all of you the best of luck!

Other books that really helps with dating/relationships are:

The 10 Commandments of Dating by Ben Young & Samuel Adams

How to Influence People and Win Friends by Dale Carnegie

For Men Only (self-explanatory) by Jeff Feldhahn

God’s Gift to Women (my favorite for men) by Eric Ludy

For those of you wanting to find out about love this book will do that. This is the most accurate book I’ve read on the subject. Best of all its practical unlike IKDG by Harris. Miles Munroe use’s scriptural references that haven’t been taken out of context. I think if you could only read one book ( besides the Bible) it should be this book. He is able to put everything into context. Even if you’re already married this book would do you well.

The author explains the process of love and relationships and really talks about the purpose of an engagement and just how crucial it is to a happy marriage.

It really is a must read. I’m not one for reading those cheesy sappy gushy books. This book presents a clear view of love and relationships for the rest of us.

Its kinda like a “Love 101 and 201″ or “Love for dummies” book. Good luck with it!

It’s a great book. That outlines the right way to date in todays world.

It tells the four stages of friendship and how we skip over the most important parts to get to the physical.

It has help me and my new friend to get to know each other the right way and more important God’s way.

This book is an excellent resource in educating and/or reminding Christians of the appropriate order in building relationships with the opposite sex in order to avoid the accumulation of baggage, heartache, and emotional scarring that come from dating as “the world” outlines for us. I feel this book is an empowering tool for women as well as we so often feel that we must lower our standards and convictions in order to find, build, or keep a relationship. God is always in control and has our best interests at heart.

My boyfriend and I read this book together and we learned so much from it! It opened us up to discussions and allowed ourselves to think about our future! This was a wonderful book!
