Back at the beginning of last semester, my room mate gave me a couple books to borrow...and I finally got around to reading them this semester. The first took me a while to get through, but I read the second in two days. They are both great books and both have been tools God has used this semester to grow me spiritually.
Book Info:
Title - When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Guide to Guy/Girl Relationships
Authors - Eric & Leslie Ludy
Publisher - Multnomah Books, 2009
Paperback, 15 chapters, 304 pages
Title - Emotional Purity: An Affair of the Heart
Author - Heather Arnel Paulsen
Publisher - Crossway Books, 2007
Paperback, 17 chapters, 151 pages
Although both of these books are focused on guy/girl relationships (and were very beneficial to me on that level), they both also apply to life on a deeper and broader level. Each uses real-life examples and scripture in searching out how Christian young people should handle relationships with the other sex.
Neither book offers a solution that is truly easy or in line with what common culture has come to expect. And yet each shows a way for singles to avoid the endless cycle of short-term relationships and broken hearts. In a day and age when people like me can feel there's no one who desires to approach relationships the way we do, these books give hope and solutions.
