Tonight i saw a shooting star,
Made me wonder where you are.
For years i have been dreaming of you,
And i wonder if you're thinking of me, too.
In this world of cheap romance
And love that only fades after the dance,
They say that i'm a fool to wait for something more.
How can i really love someone i've never seen before?
But i have longed for true love every day that i have lived,
And i know real love is all about learning how to give.
So i pray that God will bring you to me,
And i pray you'll f...more

i just got more excited with the pursuit of marriage. and not only that, but i am more enthusiastic with singleness now. i am young, 17 years old, had a sorrowful past with relationships. until i was enlightened by the Lover of my soul. along with I Kissed Dating Goodbye (Joshua Harris) and Let Me Be A Woman (Elizabeth Elliot), this book has given me so much inspiration on waiting for God's chosen one, and has given me so much motivation on living my single status for the Lord and surrendering i...more

I am not really a fan of romantic stories as my tolerance for cheesy stuff is not that high, that is, for movies and books alike. For so long, I have avoided reading this book because of its title. But I did finally pick the book up and got struck by the cliche 'Don't judge the book by its cover' (or title, perhaps).

Up until a few months ago, I gave this book a 5 star rating and would have recommended it to anyone that crossed my path. However, God has taken me on a journey and my views have changed drastically.

Instead of this book, I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Gary Thomas's The Sacred Search, and also would recommend Jason and Crystalina Evert's How To Find Your Soul mate Without Losing Your Soul and Dannah Gresh's Get Lost.

i bought this when i was a freshman in college (you know how that is... all wide eyed and bushy tailed away from home and independent at a christian college, feeling inspired by crap that looks like this, chose merely by the cover), never touched it. so now, 8 years later, figured i'd give it a shot, against all that looks ew about it. but as it turns out, i'm 26 and a self-thinking educated individual who's fairly liberal, which apparently isn't the right combination for this book's appeal. it...more

Someone gave this and a couple of other books to me to give to my 19 year old daughter. This puzzled me as I am an Atheist, my daughter is an Atheist, and she is no virgin anymore than I was at 19 and she is in no way interested in marriage. She has a lot of goals and is pursuing them. After the cursing died down (she was not amused), I couldn't help but sit down and read through this thing.

I found this book to be very inspirational in my life. After dating and dating and dating, I have become very frustrated with the type of 'men' out there. This book gives good insight into what to look for in a good and potentially 'lasting' relationship. Since reading, I have decided that I am done looking and if I'm meant to be in a relationship, it will come when it's supposed to.
One of the better Christian dating/relationship books I've read. The principles espoused by the Ludys are Biblical and solid. I appreciated the reminder that single, dating, or married, the most important relationship in our lives should be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Large sections of this book were more about the Christian walk than Christian dating, which might frustrate some, but I actually thought was very appropriate.

This was a very good book. I highly recommend it to all my single friends. This couple answered a lot of questions I had regarding my relationships with guys my age and how to be friends with them while still keeping my heart and thoughts pure. During the time I spent within the pages, I feel I also grew closer to God, and was both encouraged and inspired in my walk with Him as well as my relationships with my siblings, parents, and Christian friends.

Super encouraging! Opened my eyes to the way God wants us to see relationships and it really made me think about all the relationships I've been in and come face-to-face with the decisions I've made. It encouraged me to give over EVERY AREA of my life, including the relationship part, which is sometimes the hardest for me. The good thing about this book was that it wasn't written for one gender! It was written by a wife and husband for both males and females. (The husband pertaining to the males...more

I am so thrilled that someone else thinks like me. I mean, I know of a couple people who do but just the views of the importance of saving yourself for your future spouse and trusting God are pretty radical these days. So it was awesome to see that other people think like this.
The Ludy's make a very good point in saying that truly, you're already married. This goes a long with a verse in Proverbs 31 that I've had on my mind (sorry, can't think of the exact reference) that says 'she does him (he...more

I guess this book might be good if you meet the man you're going to marry at 14 or so, and get married at 18, like Leslie Ludy did. However, if you're anywhere past middle school, this book is just cheesy and really, pretty useless.
I read this as a freshman in college, hoping for something uplifting during my difficult transition, but it just made me angry, upset and 'behind' for not being freaking engaged at 18. Glad I snapped out of that funk and realized what I was really reacting to and how...more

God really used this book to help me be good with being single, even though the book only has one chapter on singleness which really was not a good chapter on singleness at all. The book is really just what letting go of any control in your romantic life and giving it to God. This is something every Christian should learn before they even consider dating. Now the book was really good as it just helped you to give God control of your romantic life. Now Eric and his wife, Leslie, write the book to...more
Very excellent advice in here for singles. I'm not part of the targeted audience as I've been married for 20 years, but I look back on my pre-marriage years, and wish I'd had this book to read. It is not a formula for finding a mate. They (Eric and Leslie Ludy) stress having a goal bigger than marriage, becoming complete in Christ, so you can use your single years productively. With humor and honesty they take turns with the chapters and sections, to relate their own stories.

What a book! Great advice and wisdom to learn. Purity is more than just a word. I enjoyed seeing the personal stories that brought the lifestyle of purity to life on the pages of this book. Must-read for everyone thinking about entering into a romantic relationship.
The main ideas of this book are really awesome and have helped me understand so much why I need to take relationships seriously if I want a God-centered (and God-WRITTEN) 'love story'. I'm glad that they touched on every angle of why maintaining purity before a marriage-bound relationship is so important. I felt like although the entire book was the definition of corny and reeked of 'real situations' that were clearly made up for the purpose of the book, it really made me want to put God as my n...more

I was prepared to give this book 4 stars, but then I read the relationship q&a at the end.
At the end of the book Eric Ludy advises that women should not pursue relationships with men because it 'dulls' and 'robs' them of their 'masculine strength,' which would in turn lead to a lackluster relationship because women are meant to 'wait patiently' for the man to initiate the relationship because it is their 'place'. And really, as I read that my jaw hit the floor. What kind of sexist nonsense i...more

I'm in between relationships right now so this book was recommended to me by my Pastor's wife.
The author seemed to be a little silly when he told his stories about how life was in college. He related himself to Pee-Wee Herman which I thought was strange. He described one of his friends as Barbie's boyfriend Ken and so on.

This book is likely good for someone who is a teenager. For someone who has more life experience much of this book will seem a bit trite and juvenile: feeling lonely for months or waiting for find someone a few years? That's life, it's not a big deal unless you are a teen or young adult. The emphasis on following after God, and letting God direct our lives is an important. I fear though, that the book sets some unrealistic expectations. The book seems to say people who follow God's calling will...more
This book is mainly about Eric and Leslie's relationship. they use their experiences and learned lessons to teach young adults about love. Their main audience is Christians teenagers that are confused about love. They talk about personal experiences to be able to show how God helped them.

This was an encouraging read on how to do relationships God's way, full of great wisdom. It is clear-cut, and I particularly liked how the authors addressed the issue of purity. So often, we hear in the church, 'Don't have sex before marriage,' but this couple takes purity to a whole different level, exploring multiple aspects of it. They also provide advice, perspective and wisdom that is so lacking in the church these days. I feel like the church has steered clear of offering guidance on this...more
