Produktbeschreibung

Dating, Courtship and Betrothal: Sorting Out Marriage Matters With Bible Principles is a book whose time has come. The book is written from a Christian perspective that takes the Bible quite seriously. If you are looking for answers from the Scriptures, this book may be just what you are wanting.

In addition to searching the Scriptures for answers in this matter, the author has raised his children to practice the Bible as well. Through that process many of the details of these matters were hammered out through practical experience. This book is not just theories, it is practical. In this book you will find clear and concise definitions that will allow you to sort out the practice you are involved in, whether dating, courtship, betrothal or an arranged marriage.

Today when a young man or young lady are looking for a spouse they are often presented with only one way to get to marriage, dating. However the dating method of finding a spouse is relatively new from a historical perspective. Many having seen the problems that have come out of the dating lifestyle have been searching for another way. Some have moved to courtship and found that though it does help negate some of the serious side effects of the dating lifestyle, it still leaves doors of destruction open.

Others have looked to the Bible for answers and seen the practice of betrothal. This method is often misunderstood and interpreted by supporters and detractors alike as being simply an arranged marriage. Nothing could be further from the truth of how the Bible portrays this practice. In this book, the author lays out the different practices and helps the reader take off their cultural glasses and view things for how they are. He then presents a Biblical alternative to the way things are.

The chapter titles in this book include...
The Surest Way to Destroy Your Marriage
The Sin of Defrauding
The Dangers of Defrauding
Deliverance from Defrauding
Three Stages of Life
Evaluating the Culture
Four Ways of Getting to the Marriage Altar
What is the Perspective of God's Word

If you are interested in following the Bible and avoiding the impure relationships that often come out of the dating culture, you will find this book a breath of fresh air.
