Description
Book SynopsisA practical and informative book on dating, written by a dating course leader and psychologist specialising in couples therapy.
Trade ReviewDare to Date steers a masterful course between the cultural relativism of contemporary attitudes towards dating and marriage, and the fanciful notion that ‘marriages are made in heaven.’ Aukelien brings together the wisdom of a practising psychologist, the faith of a committed Christian and the pragmatism of a self-help manual to give us an invaluable resource for today’s church. * The Revd Canon Dr Adrian Chatfield, Fellow of Ridley Hall, Cambridge *
At Christianconnection.com we have been bringing single Christians together for over 16 years. But time and time again, we encounter Christians who are afraid, discouraged or uncertain on whether or how to date. Church life can often put great pressure and expectation on Christians but without offering help and support. Dare to Date really addresses these issues with wisdom, faith, insight, practicality and true stories. * Jackie Elton, founder and MD of Christianconnection.com, a dating site for Christians *
Aukelien brings years of experience counselling about relationships, as well as her own experiences of dating, to help people to find a new and better way forward. . . [she] offers invaluable advice on how to date well, how to widen the pool of potential marriage partners and how to explore the possibility of a longer-term relationship. * From the foreword, Nicky and Sila Lee, leaders of The Marriage Course and authors of The Marriage Book and The Parenting Book (Alpha International, 2009). *
