Summary: a must read for anyone who plans to date
Comment: I was throughly impressed with this book. It was short, easy to read, and straight to the point. Biblical courtship brings back the respect men and women deserve in their mutual interactions. Biblical courtship also shows dating for what it is - a game. I appreciate his emphasis on the importance of the father in the family. The father has an awesome job as husband, protector of his daughter, and example for his son. When the father falters, the family falls apart. The father is the unsung hero who deserves much respect. Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for writing this book.

Summary: The best book on this subject!
Comment: This book should be read by every Christian parent, young man, and young woman. It sets forth the Biblical basis for courtship in a very readable, clear, concise manner. Wilson lays down the basic principles behind Biblical courtship--a godly young man building a relationship with the father of the godly young woman he wants to marry. If the young man is suitable to the father and the young woman, the father gives him permission to court her under the oversight of her parents with the full intention and express purpose of marrying her. Wilson does not present courtship as a magic formula for marital bliss or a legalistic ritual that automatically guarantees success. He clearly emphasizes the fact that the principles are more important than the methods, and that appropriate methods (which do not have to be uniform for every couple) will follow if the principles are taken seriously. The model Wilson sets forth is a manner of getting a wife which is actually Biblical, respectable, courteous, and honoring to parents rather than the more common (though also more recent) idea of dating. It takes into full account the Biblical teaching that a particular woman is to be under the authority of a particular man (first her father, then her husband). Gender roles are further emphasized in the fact that sons are raised up to leave home, and daughters are raised up to be given away in marriage--to depend upon, and be a helpmeet to, a godly man. Having been in a courtship for four months now, I recommend Wilson's book without reservation

Summary: An Excellent Book on Dating
Comment: Very practical and has Scriptural priciples. I like the short story at the back of the book, it's a good analogy of what dating should be. Another great book by Doug Wilson! I guess I'm a fan.
