I Gave Dating a Chance: A Biblical Perspective to Balance the Extremes

Jeramy Clark answers the extreme "Don't Date" movement with a balanced, biblical view of dating. In recent years, "dating" has become a dirty word in many Christian circles. So dirty, in fact, that young believers are now encouraged simply not to date. This movement has fueled and provoked debate among teens, their parents and youth workers, and single adults - a debate that remains unresolved for a great number of them. What about those Christians who want to maintain their integrity and remain within God's will while engaging in righteous dating? Is not dating really the only acceptable option in God's eyes? The answer, assures author and youth pastor Jeramy Clark, is a resounding "no!" The time has come for a sound, biblical, and practical approach that balances out the extreme perspectives: dating without responsibility vs. a complete withdrawal from the dating process. In I Gave Dating a Chance, teens and single adults alike will learn how they can confidently pursue healthy dating relationships that are characterized by holiness and integrity - and ultimately bring glory and honor to God.
