Perron and Harmon have done an exceptional job and this is a much-needed topic. I highly recommend it.--Martha Peace, Biblical Counselor; Author, The Excellent Wife and Damsels in Distress<br><br>"Engagement is an exhilarating step towards the unknown with someone you're still getting to know.

They have a remarkable amount of wisdom to offer on these topics, a wisdom well beyond their years.

In words that are perhaps not often used with premarital materials, here is a lot of horse sense on often neglected topics. I commend it to you."--Douglas Wilson, Pastor, Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho<br><br>"These books contain the kind of wise biblical advice an older brother or mentor would offer to a young person who is seeking to navigate the waters of romance and engagement.

Practical answers are given to the questions young people are most likely to raise."--Jim Newheiser, Director of the Christian Counseling Program and Associate Professor of Practical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte; Executive Director, Institute for Biblical Counseling and Discipleship<br><br>"Too often, we focus a ton on dating and little on engagement. But the season of engagement is an opportunity for preparation, joy, and evident holiness. In this short and readable book, Sean and Spencer walk the reader through a scripturally faithful approach to this unique season. All around us people want nothing more than fleeting romance and a little fun; this book will help you to build something grander and greater, a six-decade marriage, a union that testifies to the world of a greater love and a greater God."--Owen Strachan, Associate Professor of Christian Theology, Midwestern Seminary; Coauthor, The Grand Design: Male and Female He Made Them<br><br>n these two books on dating and engagement Sean Perron and Spencer have given to us a treasure trove of biblically based practical information for all unmarried Christians. The first volume answers many of the questions that I have personally been asked my many unmarried Christian about the issues relating to what is called "dating". One by one Sean and Spencer give wise, biblically based answers to questions about dating that all unmarried Christians should be asking. Among the very relevant questions to which couples will find answers in this book are questions such as what does the Bible teach about singleness, how can I know if I have the gift of singleness as mentioned in I Corinthians 7:7, should a Christian date a non-Christian, what should we do on the first date, how can we tell if we have a good or bad relationship, where do parents fit in a dating relationship, what about the matter of breaking up after we've begun dating a certain person steadily, what about dating someone who has a sexual history, what should we do if we have sinned sexually, what about the practice of kissing, how old should you be before you marry how should a dating couple express their love? In the second volume Sean and Spencer provide wise counsel on questions that many people are asking or, at least should be asking, about what we call "engagement". Again the authors provide wise counsel about various issues that many couples considering engagement or who are already engaged ask. This book will provide couples with solid instruction about what they call "the opportunity of engagement", what engagement involves, how long should a couple be engaged before marriage, what about the matter of ending an engagement, what kind of a relationship should the couple develop with their prospective parents, what about eloping, how should we handle conflicts, what about birth control when we do get married, how should we prepare for the wedding night, why should we wait until after the wedding to have sex relations. Personally as a Biblical counsellor and pastor since 1957 I am very grateful to God for giving Sean and Spencer the desire and ability to write these two books. They contain information that I wish had been available for me to give to Christians as they though about dating or engagement. I will certainly have them at the ready to give to Christians who need biblically based answers to the plethora of relevant issues that godly people who are thinkers will have.--Wayne Mack, Academic Head, Strengthening Ministries Training Institute; Director, Association of Certified Biblical Counselors--Africa<br><br>From romanticism, to break ups, to the issue of sexuality and singleness, Sean and Spencer provide us with a significant, Biblical word for the areas of dating and engagement. No two areas are more ignored and yet more in need of a clear, concise word from God. These Biblical counselors, with rare insight and discernment lead you through the spiritual steps that will result in healthy, God honoring, deepening relationships.--Mac and Debbie Brunson, Cohosts of "The Fixer Upper Marriage" BIble Study, First Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida<br><br>Getting engaged is a monumental decision for your life. Therefore, it is worth careful thought before any action is taken. This is the type of book that will stimulate your thinking with biblical guidance before you proceed to make such a serious commitment. We invest years of training before entering a profession, why not take the time to carefully read this book before you commit to marriage through engagement. We believe that carefully reading this book will biblical inform your decision.--John D. Street and Janie L. Street, Authors, The Biblical Counseling Guide for Women<br><br>Relationships require wisdom. God has given Sean and Spencer remarkable wisdom for their age. Their wisdom, seasoned with plenty of Scripture, written in the form of letters from a friend, is a recipe for real help for couples navigating dating and engagement.--C.J. Mahaney, Senior Pastor, Sovereign Grace Church, Louisville, Kentucky<br><br>Spencer Harmon and Sean Perron have blessed us with an outstanding book to help couples make the most of their engagement. I am surprised how many couples forget and fail to use their season of engagement to grow together in godliness. Harmon and Perron want to prevent such an oversight, and thus wisely guide couples through every imaginable step of the engagement journey providing biblically-informed principles for the journey. From the kind of ring to buy to preparing for the wedding night, this book is brimming with truth for one of the most critical times in the life of a couple.--Jonathan D. Holmes, Founder and Executive Director, Fieldstone Counseling; Pastor of Counseling, Parkside Church, Chagrin Falls, Ohio; Author, Counsel for Couples: A Biblical and Practical Guide for Marriage Counseling<br><br>There's nothing easy about dating or getting engaged. I lurched through the process like most people -- fearful, fumbling, and full of doubt. If only Sean and Spencer had written this book fifty years ago! But here it is just in time for you! Make a date with this book before booking a date. The Bible's advice is never dated for those engaged in its teachings.--Robert J. Morgan, Teaching Pastor, The Donelson Fellowship, Nashville; Author, The Strength You Need: The Twelve Great Strength Passages of the Bible<br>
