We're obsessed with dating. And it's ruining our lives. Rather than leading the way and creating a new and better culture, Christians often misguidedly assume a reactionary posture to cultural norms, then slap "Christian" on things as an adjective and call it a worldview. This collision between worldly ideas and Christian ideals has created a strange and confusing culture of relationships, friendships, and dating in our communities. Is it any wonder why our student ministries and adult groups struggle with a true sense of community, and single men and women are the most likely to leave their church? A book for everyone from teens to elders, The Most Eligible Christian exposes the roots of this disconnect and calls the church to the often missing theology of relationships we were intended to receive and the world was meant to see, guiding us away from a dating obsession and into the richness of kingdom relationships. Brian Kammerzelt is an Associate Professor and Director of the Communications Program at the Moody Bible Institute in downtown Chicago, where he specializes in the theology of communications & culture.

For any Catholic who enjoyed Mere Christianity, the classic book by C. S. Lewis, this is the Catholic response you've been waiting for. For any Protestant, it's a perfect way to get to know what Catholic Christians really believe about Mary, the papacy, the Mass, Purgatory, the Communion of Saints, and so on -- and why they believe it.

Based on the National Study of Youth and Religion--the same invaluable data as its predecessor, Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers--Kenda Creasy Dean's compelling new book, Almost Christian, investigates why American teenagers are at once so positive about Christianity and at the same time so apathetic about genuine religious practice. In Soul Searching, Christian Smith and Melinda Lundquist Denton found that American teenagers have embraced a "Moralistic Therapeutic Deism"--a hodgepodge of banal, self-serving, feel-good beliefs that bears little resemblance to traditional Christianity. But far from faulting teens, Dean places the blame for this theological watering down squarely on the churches themselves. Instead of proclaiming a God who calls believers to lives of love, service and sacrifice, churches offer instead a bargain religion, easy to use, easy to forget, offering little and demanding less. But what is to be done? In order to produce ardent young Christians, Dean argues, churches must rediscover their sense of mission and model an understanding of being Christian as not something you do for yourself, but something that calls you to share God's love, in word and deed, with others. Dean found that the most committed young Christians shared four important traits: they could tell a personal and powerful story about God; they belonged to a significant faith community; they exhibited a sense of vocation; and they possessed a profound sense of hope. Based on these findings, Dean proposes an approach to Christian education that places the idea of mission at its core and offers a wealth of concrete suggestions for inspiring teens to live more authentically engaged Christian lives. Persuasively and accessibly written, Almost Christian is a wake up call no one concerned about the future of Christianity in America can afford to ignore.

Pitch the Christian dating rulebook out the window. There’s a better way! No matter what you might have heard, God didn’t mandate a divine way to date. What He did do, in the Bible, is lay out principles for wise and healthy relational living among believers. His boundaries for us are wise and good. But exactly how you apply God’s principles to your dating life is up to you to figure out. All you need is guidance, not micromanagement. How Should a Christian Date? doesn’t try to boss you around. It just offers wisdom about the relevant principles in God’s Word. Eric Demeter—a single guy who has given this subject a lot of thought—separates the truths of Scripture from the baggage of Christian dating subculture. He talks to you like a big brother or favorite uncle, not your mother. You’ll cover topics such as: Busting 12 Myths of Christian Dating How to Meet People & Have a Good First Date Clearing the Fog in Sex and Physical Affection Getting the Best from a Breakup Take Dating One Stage at a Time There isn’t one “Christian” way to date. But there are ways that Christians should handle themselves while dating . . . and those are the truths to live by.
