ReviewsPraise for How Should a Christian Date? "I've known Eric for a lot of years, and, as his pastor, I've walked with him through the ups and downs of his own dating experiences. His stories will make you laugh, cry, and at times, even wince. These pages are full of clear insight and practical wisdom. I hope that the lessons he's learned and the scars he's earned can become a source of wisdom and healing for you wherever you are on your journey." -- GLENN PACKIAM Associate Senior Pastor, New Life Church Author, Blessed Broken Given "This is a very current, relevant, and practical look at Christian dating. Reading this book has been a great delight as Eric has written in a very open and vulnerable gritty and genuine way. There is no pretentiousness here, no judgment, or criticism, or a list of dos and don'ts! It is like having a good coach coming alongside to encourage and hopefully advise, but always with your success and very best at heart. Wisdom learned from life's experiences, not just from reading a book. Eric gives wise guidelines of how to live and love by celebrating singleness, cultivating friendships, and building good foundations and character before finding a future good mate. Becoming emotionally healthy is key to marrying out of want, not out of need." -- MARK PARKER YWAM NZ DTS training leader, teacher, elder "Eric Demeter writes passionately and practically to Christ followers who are seeking to do the 'dating thing' well. He doesn't try to prescribe a template for the way to date, but rather offers helpful prompts for those wishing to pursue healthy dating relationships. If you've been around the dating block or are new to the process, I recommend you give this book a read!" -- SHAWN HOLTGREN Vice President for Student Development, Bethel University "An immensely readable and practical guide for developing healthy habits in dating. Eric gives us biblically sound advice for growing ourselves, respecting others, and honoring God in a culture that says 'anything goes.'" -- LISA ANDERSON Director of Boundless.org, author of The Dating Manifesto

SynopsisPitch the Christian dating rulebook out the window. There's a better way! No matter what you might have heard, God didn't mandate a divine way to date. What He did do, in the Bible, is lay out principles for wise and healthy relational living among believers. His boundaries for us are wise and good. But exactly how you apply God's principles to your dating life is up to you to figure out. All you need is guidance, not micromanagement. How Should a Christian Date? doesn't try to boss you around. It just offers wisdom about the relevant principles in God's Word. Eric Demeter--a single guy who has given this subject a lot of thought--separates the truths of Scripture from the baggage of Christian dating subculture. He talks to you like a big brother or favorite uncle, not your mother. You'll cover topics such as: Busting 12 Myths of Christian Dating How to Meet People & Have a Good First Date Clearing the Fog in Sex and Physical Affection Getting the Best from a Breakup Take Dating One Stage at a Time There isn't one "Christian" way to date. But there are ways that Christians should handle themselves while dating . . . and those are the truths to live by., Christian subculture is notorious for telling you there's one God-approved, way to date. But that isn't true. God didn't invent dating, our culture did. There's no right way to date, just many wrong ones. A divine formula doesn't exist for how to meet a boyfriend or girlfriend, date them for a while, and eventually get engaged. Yet our wise and loving Lord doesn't leave us in limbo when it comes to relationships. He is the Author of marriage, so He cares about how we get there. God's Word gives you a framework for finding a spouse, not a formula. Eric Demeter-a single guy who has given this subject a lot of thought-thinks you don't need rules, you need biblical wisdom. After reading this book, you'll be able to: Describe the person you want to marry, Make better and faster dating decisions, Save yourself unnecessary pain, Break up well, Bring clarity to the confusion of dating, Know when you've found "The One" Though there isn't one way to date, it does matter how you do it. Your future marriage, your walk with Christ, and your own well-being depend on it. Isn't it time to finally get it right? Book jacket., Pitch the Christian dating rulebook out the window.
