I Kissed Dating Goodbye: A New Attitude toward Relationships and Romance
Item # B3065-00-11
Joshua Harris
Ideal for single adults and teens, I Kissed Dating Goodbye presents the model for biblical friendship and principled romance. A best-selling book with more than 800,000 copies in print, this book was named the number one paperback non-fiction book for all of 1998 and number two for all of 1999.
Now, for the first time since its release, the national #1 best-seller has been totally updated. The new edition includes:
• A new foreword by Sam Torode
• A brand new chapter
• Expanded content in many chapters
Most "new editions" are just the same book with a new cover. This is different. Every chapter has been carefully fine-tuned. Joshua builds on the strength of his book, clarifies its core message and honestly answers the concerns of critics who have written response books since I Kissed Dating Goodbye was first released. The result is that the book's simple message of trusting God with your love-life has more power than ever.
