What Is the Product for? With detailed descriptions of ten types of men Christian women should not marry, She’s Got the Wrong Guy is not your typical book about dating. Drawing from his years of experience as a pastor and counselor, Deepak Reju shares with women his perspective on how to assess a relationship’s strengths from the beginning, how to identify possible pitfalls, and how to have the courage to wait for a relationship that will be a blessing for both of you. In the 21st century, where dating can be more confusing and challenging for women than ever, readers will learn their starting point needs to be a clear dependence on Christ, and that hope and happiness are found in Jesus, not marriage.
Who Is the Product for? To be a single woman in the 21st century is challenging, and to be a single Christian woman even more so. As old traditions about dating and marriage have fallen away, parents and grandparents didn’t face the same situations their daughters and granddaughters do, nor could they prepare them today’s complex and confusing dating world.

Using relatable stories and highlighting contemporary issues, She’s Got the Wrong Guy will not only help women understand why they pick guys who will only let them down, but also provide clear, biblical direction on how to have positive, life-giving relationships with members of the opposite sex.
