By Dr. Jack Schaap

The first book written by Pastor Jack Schaap contains common-sense dating principles for couples, parents, and youth workers. Too many Christian teens are ignorant when it comes to basic human relationship principles. They appear untaught, untrained, and undisciplined in the most important area of life―human interpersonal relationships. Sadly, many promote teenage dating with the premise that teenagers will only learn these important disciplines as they enter dating relationships. Where is the wisdom of that logic? The result is often ill-equipped and poorly trained young people who are unable to fully nurture their relationships, where marriage, parenting, or career employment. Relationships suffer because many people assume they know what to do, how to do it, and that everything will somehow work out in the end. This book is a counselor’s desire to help parents and teenagers. No one book can address all the particular situations a person may encounter, but it will serve as a practical guide for purposeful Christian dating.
