Really made me think
Posted May 16, 2009
By LauraCC,
It's a fresh perspective in this world of hookups and breakups; don't rush into going out with someone just as you wouldn't rush into a marriage. Don't date just for an escort or an excuse to wear nice clothes. Joshua Harris's personal choice makes a lot of sense in this crazy mixed-up world.
I have to say that as a person who's never dated, not once, it's made me feel better about it. I never conciously chose not to, I just never really got asked. Now I'm wondering if maybe that wasn't Providence rather than being undesirable.
He talks about all the heartbreak that can come from flippantly "going out" with somebody and shares stories of people he's known that made right and wrong choices. It's really inspiring. At one point or another, everybody in my family picked the book up (I think it may have been the title that caught their eyes)
Everybody should read this book, and whether or not they agree with every/anything in it, they'll be forced to take a good hard look at their relationships.
(Another neat thing; if you take romance out of the equation, a lot of the things he says about relationships and listening applies to friendships too.) View All Music And Book Reviews By LauraCC | View LauraCC's Profile
