Todays dating culture thrives on hookups and heartbreaks, with young women caught in a vicious cycle of hope-filled infatuation and crushing disappointment. With marriage on the decline and the divorce rate on the rise, its pretty clear that modern dating methods are not working. I believe God has a more glorious path for His girls, a way that is smarter and leads to a stronger future. The practical and hope-filled truth found in Love Defined points women to a biblical approach to finding true love and establishing lasting relationships. I cant stress this enoughthis book is a must-read for young women!

I pray countless Christian young women will be spurred on to obedience and godliness by these sisters exhortation.

This is a book I want to give to every girl in my generation.

They point us to Gods Word with uncompromising humility, honesty, grace, and transparency. This book will give you two new friends and faithful mentors. My prayer is that you will imitate Bethany and Kristen as they imitate Christ.
