About this audiobook
For anyone who is dating or thinking about marriage, pastor and bestselling author Andy Stanley shares practical, uncensored wisdom on avoiding mistakes in the present to help you avoid regrets in the future.
Single? Looking for the "right person"? Convinced that if you met the "right person" everything would turn out "right?" Think again.
In The New Rules for Love, Sex, and Dating, Andy Stanley explores the challenges, assumptions, and pitfalls associated with dating in the twenty-first century. This guide takes a fresh approach to dating and love in the modern era by turning the search for "the one" back onto the searcher, challenging you to ask yourself tough questions like:
- Am I the person that the person I'm looking for is looking for?
- Are the Bible's teachings about women relevant today?
- If sex is only physical, why is the pain of sexual sin so deep?
As you dig deep into Stanley's answers, you'll be equipped and empowered to step up and set a new standard for this generation by uncovering the things that create trouble in dating relationships and creating better habits now that will pay off later as you dive into married life.
Praise for The New Rules for Love, Sex, and Dating:
"No one speaks more powerfully and practically into the issues of dating and marriage in the twenty-first century than Andy Stanley. The New Rules for Love, Sex, and Dating is an exceptional resource for anyone seeking to navigate challenging relationship waters and survive in a culture that's confused and complex. Straightforward. Graceful. Truthful. Needed." --Louie Giglio, Passion City Church, Passion Conferences
"Andy's new rules for love, sex, and dating are so wise, so compelling, so clear that I want every single friend I have to read this book, and I want to save a couple copies for my boys, so they can read it in a decade or so." --Shauna Niequist, author of I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet
"Having experienced more than my fair share of destructive, harmful dating relationships, I can authoritatively say that Andy's views on the matter are clear and convicting. Andy so beautifully conveys the message of the unfathomable grace of God, leaving you free to turn a leaf and begin a new dating chapter, making better decisions and living with fewer regrets." —Maggie Bridges, Miss Georgia 2014

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Its a suggestive guidance for before/during/after relationships or marriage. It’s from a general perspective and has all the informations to back it up. If you’re a very opinionated person
, please read this with an open mind in order to get the full benefits.
This is for anyone that’s trying to understand all the feeling and concerns around sex and relationships. And there’s also a treat at the end of the book that you’re going to love.
Good luck, and I hope you find what you’re looking for ... - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a fantastic read. It’s revealing what love really means in our world , in the context of spiritual foundation .... as Jesus taught us.
Women deserve so much respect and love from us men. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It focuses on one's own personal decision not to find the right person but to be the right person themselves. This is very sound relationship advice and most importantly it is God centred.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5By far one of the best books I have read on the topic of sex and relationships. I am holding on to the lessons in this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a great listen. The chapters on love completely changed my mind about the concept of marriage. Thank you Andy!
