Customer Reviews

excellent book!

This book is the clearest, most biblical book on relationships. Joshua Harris describes the God-centered relationship and is a great guide on how to glorify God in this area. Joshua writes in a very understandable, yet true, tone and makes us readers to desire to be doing God's will, and love the purpose God has for our relationships. It's just GREAT!

What a breath of Fresh Air!

I have to sadly admit that as a 22 year old I have never really read a book cover to cover before, until I read Boy meets Girl! I loved every word of it and I didn't want it to end! This book gives you hope and the incentive needed to hold out for something better in your dating relationships! It walks you through the difficulties of others real life stories and then blows you away at the results that can happen when you truly seek GOD's will! I think this book can be helpful to anyone at any age! It is sound, God centered, advice. How could you go wrong with that?! Even if you don't agree with everything that the book says you will appreciate it for its openess, honestly and its ability to make you think about which direction your relationships are heading! Hope you enjoy it! God Bless!:)

A Unique Perspective...A Breath of Fresh Air

Josh Harris' books (Boy Meets Girl and IKDG) have truly been inspired by God. Evidence that they "work" is seen in Josh's love and devotion to Sharon (his wife). I pray to someday have a relationship as fulfilling as theirs. As a Christian girl who lost her virginity at 18, and became pregnant, married, divorced, and a single mother this year at age 19, i needed a new, FRESH perspective on sex. It was obvious that the world's ideas were wrong... very wrong. The chapters on purity and overcoming past sins have helped me to forgive myself, AND give me something to look forward to in the future. I wish I'd read these books in highschool. So far, I've bought 2 more copies of Boy Meets Girl, and 3 copies of I Kissed Dating Goodbye. I'm lending them out to everyone i can think of, INCLUDING my ex-husband. Buy the books, Read the books, and Share the books. Stop "dating" and experience the sheer JOY of trusting in the Lord.

This book rocks!

I highly recommend this book! As a 32 year woman who has a "past" much like Joshua's wife, and I family who is not born again, I was really intriuged at the advice and it warmed my heart how they dealt with all things.This goes deeper than I Kissed Dating Goodbye and it is a must read, even if you are single and in your 30s like me.

A biblical followup to a runaway best seller

It should come as no surprise to those who have read Joshua Harris' first book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, that Boy Meets Girl would be filled with sound, biblical advice and stories that can relate to life. Joshua Harris has once again delivered a book on a topic sorely needed by the Christian singles of this world. As an 18 year old who had been a Christian for two months, I purchased IKDG, unsure of where it would lead me. I knew my way of doing things was about to be challenged, but I didn't realize just how much. As I dove into the book, I was convicted in so many ways. God used this to really shape me and my understanding of how He wants me to be in relation to this important area of my life. As someone who has read MANY of these Christian relationship books, I can tell you that there are some good ones out there, but IKDG definitely had the biggest impact on me. However, as I continued to pray over the biblical truths that Harris focused on and how they pertained to my individual life, I (along with thousands others) had to wonder one thing - What about when I *do* find someone who I'd like to pursue a relationship with? Then what? The answer has arrived. Joshua Harris uses Boy Meets Girl to express how God has shown him that it is the state of our heart that matters most, and not legalistic boundaries. Though the book just arrived in my mailbox yesterday, I have torn right through it and been pouring over the scripture referenced that addresses so many pertinent issues. If you loved IKDG, get ready for Boy Meets Girl. Harris has so beautifully expressed the way that God has worked in his life and heart, and this manifestation is definitely something that our generation can use.
