Mingling to Making Out: Real Talk on Christian Dating and Singleness (in English)
Synopsis "Mingling to Making Out: Real Talk on Christian Dating and Singleness (in English)"
Surprise! Another young adult book on romantic relationships and singleness! Weren't expecting that, now were you? (That was sarcasm.) Ok, so you can find plenty of books about this stuff, which really isn't surprising since the average age of Christian newlyweds is like, what, 22? (Or so it seems to us single 23-year-olds.) Dating/courting/whatever-your-church-calls-it and not, are two big stages of life for those of us in our 20s. So why did I write another book about it? Well, I was raised in church. I did what I was taught, and I waited until college to date. After a year-and-a-half relationship that ended terribly, promptly followed by my Christian parents' divorce, I realized that there's more to relationships than the purity books and youth group lessons said. I learned a lot from my experiences, but I had more questions. I began researching and writing. This book is the result. I tackle topics like long-distance dating, the "gift" of singleness, emotional purity, sexual addiction, how to get into a relationship, how to get out of one, etc. Books are better in community, so pull together a group of friends, and possibly a Jesus-loving older person, and discuss all the fascinating stuff within these pages! Whether you're single or practically engaged, 20 or 27, join the conversation. Let me know what you think at facebook.com/katiewelchwriter. Read. Think. Talk about it. Be surprised.
