Straight Talk About Teen Dating If I'd only known the truth about . . .: A guide to dating from a Christian perspective for pre-teens and teens Second Edition

Written by a school counselor, Straight Talk About Teen Dating communicates important information about a God-centered approach to dating. The approach suggested is an alternative to the devastating self-centered approach to dating promoted by our popular culture in which dating choices are made mainly based upon liking someone, looks, and feelings. In a down-to-earth way that teens can relate to, the author explains how to prepare for dating by becoming the type of person that God wants you to date (a keeper), when and who to date, how to attract a keeper, how to do dating right, how to decide whether or not to continue in a dating relationship, the big difference between having the feeling of being "in love" and true love, how to make a good marriage decision one day in the future, and much more. Wegert shares in each of the twenty-five chapters something he wishes he'd known before dating and during dating - with the hope of helping teens to avoid a broken heart or worse and to one day have a lifelong loving Christian marriage. The themes of how much God loves us, how He wants only the best for us, and His willingness to forgive us regardless of what we've done flow throughout the book. This book is very similar to Straight Talk About Dating which was written for adults in their twenties and thirties - and to the book True Love Lasts which was written with a character emphasis for teens and young adults. (Straight Talk About Teen Dating is available on Kindle. If you don't have a Kindle, you can download Kindle for PC or Kindle for Mac or the Kindle Cloud Reader from Amazon.com to read the book on a computer.
