Do you focus mainly on guys? 

In Get Lost by Dannah Gresh, you will learn the importance of being lost in God, not guys.  The Bible is the first place to begin to look for God’s love.  It is important to know what the different kinds of love are and what they look like when God is involved.  Once you know them, then you will be able to respond correctly when you feel romantic love.

Included is a ten-day Love Feast Challenge, which will help you to learn to recognize the love of God and how you need to treat relationships.

My thoughts-  There are many books about Christian romantic relationships in publication.  I think Get Lost, by Dannah Gresh, is one of the best that I have read.

Top four things I learned or enjoyed:

• We should crave God not men.
• We need agape love for Jesus, not phileo (brotherly) love.
• “Love Feast” study, which takes ten days or ten weeks, is full of spiritual information.
• Complete group leader’s guide and questions.

This is a book that every young lady needs to read before committing herself to a young man.  I wish I had read a book like this when I was younger.  If I had, I would have had a deeper relationship with God when I met my husband and then God would have been first in our relationship.

I highly recommend this book to all young women.  It needs to be at church libraries, public libraries, and bookshelves at home.

Are you unsure of God’s thoughts on sex?  Then let Dannah Gresh show you the ancient Hebrew words and what they mean to you and your sexual relationships.

In this book Dannah Gresh will talk about:

• the dangers with pornography
• where to draw the line with kissing, fondling, and oral sex
• how to identify the lies associated with lesbianism
• what happens when you have a friendship with benefits

My thoughts-

When I was single I wish I had been able to read a book like this.  If I had had a book like this then I would have known the love of God and how much more important that is than any love from a person.  And how God’s love will help me to love myself and my boyfriend/spouse.

This should be required reading for all girls when they are in high school, whether it be in school or church classes.  They will learn why they should not have “friends with benefits” or why pornography shouldn’t be watched.

The chapter I thought was the best was, “The Line,” and it talked about where you should draw the line with kissing, fondling, and oral sex.  As women we need to know exactly where we will draw the line and to go no further.

I would highly recommend this book to teens and young adults.
