“A NEW VISION FOR DATING” Finding God's Plan For a New Relationship
A New Vision for Dating is more than just a guide for singles or the single-again adult. It is designed to instruct singles on how to open up to God s vision for their lives and to create an expectant hope of restoration from their past mistakes. While many singles seek answers from friends, dating services, single ministries, chat rooms, and even bars and clubs, A New Vision for Dating offers real life answers articulated in a way that affects the spirit, as well as the intellect. More than just offering information, A New Vision for Dating instructs the reader on how to change, to forgive, to move on, and leave destructive patterns behind. The reader is prompted to make an affirmation after most chapters and do some soul-searching to resolve old issues. Creative stories are interwoven throughout the book to illustrate the principles that are presented.
