Letters to a Romantic: On Dating
Publisher's Description
Dear Romantic,
It’s no secret that this stage of life is a tough one! The dating process is complicated and confusing—and that’s before difficulties like how to graciously decline a date, how to guard your bodies and hearts, and how to deal with sexual sin in your past.
But we are writing you with great news! God cares about you and your relationships, and his Word shares meaningful and practical advice. Sean Perron and Spencer Harmon, along with their wives, Jenny and Taylor, have written you several letters to guide you through this season of dating—each one is short, practical, and relevant, and contains discussion questions to help you apply it even more personally.
Whether you are struggling with singleness, enduring a breakup, embarking on a new relationship, or even making the final step toward engagement, opening up these letters will help you to start some helpful, God-honoring conversations.

Deepak Reju
Pastor of Biblical Counseling and Family Ministry, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC; Author, On Guard and The Pastor and Counseling
“Christian men and women who are seeking to understand how to make godly decisions concerning dating need to carefully study the wisdom of this book. Far too often, little thought is given to biblical direction concerning personal decisions about dating the opposite sex. Many think that since the Bible does not mention the idea of dating it is silent about the topic, but nothing is further from the truth. You will be surprised at the practical wisdom this book gives. We highly recommend it to you.”
John D. and Janie L. Street
Authors, The Biblical Counseling Guide for Women
“Authors and friends Sean Perron and Spencer Harmon have written a most helpful book on dating. Dont let the short chapters fool you this book is packed with biblical wisdom for a journey on which we need it most. On a topic where some might veer into sentimentality, self-help, or legalism, Perron and Harmon strike a gracious and biblical tone throughout their work.”
Jonathan Holmes
Pastor of Counseling, Parkside Church, Uniontown, Ohio; Author, The Company We Keep: In Search of Biblical Friendship
“Sean and Spencer give terrific counsel on dating. Their words are wise, fired with passion, and biblically faithful. Those who are confused and even broken by our anything-goes era will find here a gospel-shaped path to ordered lovelove as God ordains it.”
Owen Strachan
