The Book on Christian Dating
March 6, 2007
Many singles are looking for the definitive book on Christian dating. Almost weekly we get mail from somebody looking for directions on where they can find a Christian dating book on this topic or that. In truth, there are a lot of great books on Christian dating for singles out there.
Top Books on Christian Dating
Okay, you asked for it, so here are some really good Christian dating books geared toward all types of singles. Some of these Christian dating book titles crack me up:
Dating Clues for the Clueless
Romantic Love-Using Your Head in Matters of the Heart
Finding the Love of Your Life
Passion and Purity-Learning to Bring Your love Under Christ’s Control
Finding Your Perfect Mate
If you want a copy of any of these books on Christian dating, all you need to do is go to Amazon.com or ChristianBook.com, and do a search on the name of the book of interest.
Millions of books on Christian dating are sold each year, but know what the real funny thing about all this is? Nearly all of the principles written down in these Christian dating books are found in God’s Word. Makes you wonder why there’s so many of them.
The Lord has really challenged me in this area: Do I go to these nice books on Christian dating before I check out the Bible? Or do I first search out God’s Word for answers? How about you?
Bible Verse of Day
-Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path-Psalm 119:105

Christian Single Dating for Single Christians
January 20, 2007
Our vision for this Christian single dating site has never been to be simply a Christian dating service. Rather, our goal has always been to be a Christian singles “resource hub” where one can find Christian single dating reviews, spiritual encouragement, dating advice, singles groups and interaction with other singles by the writing and sharing of articles.
Christian Single Dating Tips
Many have written asking us what Christian single dating advice we could give in order to help singles enjoy a better online Christian dating experience. We thought long and hard on this, and came up with one simple thought: Avoid Extremes. Here’s what we mean by that:
On the one hand, there are many singles who yearn for a Christian single dating partner, but are overly cautious. So much so that they allow their fears to rule over their desire for a Christian single dating relationship. The end result is that these poor singles remain depressed, discouraged and quite possibly out of God’s will.
As far as the other Christian single dating extreme is concerned, there are those Christians who get tired of waiting on God, and plunge heart first into a Christian single dating relationship that they should have avoided altogether. The result is often a bunch of pain, rejection and heartache. These Christian dating singles have not taken to heart our Bible Verse of the day:
-Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.-Proverbs 4:23
Successful Christian single dating means having a prayerful balance between the two dating attitudes we find among Christian singles.

An Online Christian Dating Wedding
June 27, 2006
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban got married this past weekend, but I chose to go to a best friend’s wedding instead. Margaret met Tom, her husband, through one of the online Christian dating sites we list on this site, and had a two year long distance dating relationship before tying the knot. It was the most unlikely of circumstances that these Christian singles even crossed paths online, but our God has a way of doing things like that.
As I watched the emotional exchange of wedding vows a mere five feet away, I started playing flashbacks in my mind of several key events in Margaret’s life over the past decade.
I remembered the day she came into my office and told me that Jesus got a hold of her, and had forgiven her with his healing power. Having prayed for her salvation for many years, we both wept tears of joy on that precious day! The changes in her life that followed were profound and nothing short of miraculous. But our God has a way of doing things like that.
Several years later, as a Christian single woman in her late thirties, Margaret began to waiver in faith and wonder if she would ever meet the man of her dreams. So we prayed and wept before the Lord that she would find a single Christian guy that loved Jesus as much as she did.
Using an online Christian dating service was not Margaret’s idea of “trusting in the Lord” for a single man. For years she refused to even consider it. Only because several Christian friends bought her an eHarmony membership did she even agree to give it a try. Wouldn’t you know that an online Christian dating service was the exact tool the Lord chose to bring this wonderful couple together? Yes, but our God has a way of doing things like that.
My mind floated back to the wedding ceremony just as the pastor announced them man and wife. As they passionately kissed each other, my heart was overcome with a sense of God’s amazing love and faithfullness to His children.
Today as I write this, I know there are Christian singles out there waiting on God for that special soulmate. Many have let us know they are discouraged and worried that they may never get married. Hey, trusting the Lord during times when we see nothing tangible happening is always a tough thing.
But if you are in a similar position be encouraged by remembering that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and He promises to provide all of your needs according to His glorious riches (Phil 4:19). Afterall, your God has a way of doing things like that.
