Are the Bible's teachings about women relevant? In this message, Andy explains that Jesus' teachings about honoring women were extremely counter-cultural in the first century. They remain so today. So Christian men especially need to transform their thinking.

And there are two simple steps to start with. Culture convinces us - and sometimes we convince ourselves - that sex is only physical. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. I'm a grown divorced man and watched Pastor Andy Stanley's sermons based on this book, then I bought the book and read it. My intention was to see if it addressed the many mistakes my friends and I made, and to see it it was good enough to give to younger friends and family members.
Having never received "the talk," I feel this short, easy-to-read book provides far more information in a clear, concise, no-nonsense format than any ten minute talk my father could have given me. The life principles Andy teaches are brilliant in their simplicity. The book has Christian overtones, but the information can be applied in anyone's life regardless of religious beliefs and age. I would highly recommend buying this book for your kids when they are junior high school age or more. Ideally, the children and parent s should both read it and discuss it.
Some of the concepts require a little more maturity to understand, so the children should simply put the book on a shelf and read it and discuss it once a year until they understand the information. This book is also excellent for older single and divorced men and women, who have made some relationship mistakes, want a fresh start, and wish to avoid making as many relationship mistakes as possible.
I highly recommend this book. It can change your life and save you or your children from making some fairly basic and completely avoidable relationship mistakes.

Single or not, you will be glad you did. Some blame the pill; some blame the feminists; some blame the media. Whatever the reason, the irony is that the emotional and financial costs of broken relationships have never been higher. But then Stanley then goes on to offer a rather rare insight: What I have discovered is that people with problems get married and their problems collide. This is getting down to brass tacks! He describes himself as a communicator, author, and pastor and founder of North Point Ministries in Atlanta, Georgia.
His book is written in 10 chapters, including: The Right Person Myth; 2. Commitment is Overrated; 3. Becoming the Right Person; 4.

This is a book filled with a lot of wisdom. One item on this list is patience: Love is patient 1 Cor Stanley notes that impatience is an emotion, not a decision, and it does not come naturally. Stanley knows his audience. He starts this chapter by repeating a challenge that he made earlier: This is the hard sell part. While this might sound like a high price to pay for moral clarity, but the life you save may be your own[2]. Stanley suggests that you spend this year proactively doing some important things to become the sort of person that the person you want to meet would find attractive.
He has 5 suggestions: Remember the mirror mentioned earlier? You cannot change someone else but you can work on becoming someone they might actually want to get to know. This is not a preachy book, but it is an in-your-face book. Although my wife, Maryam, and I have been married for 30 years, I was already 30 when I got married.

What I know is right. And I'm going to change your life by telling you this. As for this book - good stuff. Everyone can get at least something from it I'm sure. And the whole "becoming the rig OK here's the thing - Andy Stanley just really gets under my skin. And the whole "becoming the right person" is good advice, I'm just not sure the motivation for becoming a better person ought to be to find a spouse.
As for me, well, I already held all of the beliefs expressed in this book. And to have everything presented as "you don't know about any of this, let me reveal to you the secrets of good relationships" just didn't fly with me, since I've grown up knowing all this. That's not to say the ideas presented in this book are bad, like I said I already hold them. It's just the way they're presented seemed a little condescending.
Do I recommend this book? There's some good stuff in it. Do I think it'll drastically change your view of relationships? It didn't for me, but then again I'm an oddity. Jul 26, Josh Stowers rated it it was ok. A couple of positives: Really great wisdom for a De-christianized nation.

Anyone that follows his advice will be relationally successful. The only thing I can say is new about this book is its ability to talk about C A couple of positives: The only thing I can say is new about this book is its ability to talk about Christian sexuality while stripping it of its purpose and power. It strips its purpose by directing the only meaning of marriage as being temporally beneficial but not God glorifying. This is painfully obvious.

I am not saying that Andy does not believe the things he does not mention. However he does not take this approach with churches. He suggest to find the biggest church in your area and it just has to be big for a good reason. Pragmatism will lead people to a form of godliness that not only denies his power but his deserved glory. Obviously, the content is similar to the sermon series he does, but it expands areas that needed expanding.
Stanley is very forthright and blunt which I found both helpful and intimidating. He does not sugar coat anything. He is a good communicator as is clear if you have listened to him speak , he uses language that is easy to understand - he is direct. Could not recommend this book highly enough to single people, but also would recommend welpppppppppppppp wish I read this when I was about Could not recommend this book highly enough to single people, but also would recommend it to anyone for it's take on 1 Corinthians 13 and how to apply that to real life.
