About this audiobook
Your attitudes about marriage and the path to marriage are wrong.
Some of them you’ve inherited and some you’ve simply bought – hook, line, and sinker – or made up yourself. They have translated into bad action (or no action) in dating and relationships. But it’s not too late; you can break the cycle of dating dysfunction and learn to honor marriage, marry well, and live intentionally while you wait. Lisa Anderson’s story proves it’s possible.
The Dating Manifesto is neither a cheesy formula for finding a spouse nor a feel-good book about how the person for you is “out there” if you only “believe.” Instead, it’s a challenge to wise up, own your issues, and chart a bold new course for your relationship future.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book! We haven't been single for a long time - married 42 years - so we are not able to give our granddaughter good advice as she heads out to College. So glad we found this resource to give to her, praying she will benefit from the wisdom in this book. The reader did a great job in the audio book and we will pray about ministering to young single adults in our church. Thank you Lisa!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5BRILLIANT!
A book written for singles by a mature single who GETS IT; and she values and desires marriage. Thus, the book is realistic, compassionate, and useful.
Anderson argues that singles should prepare for marriage now and pursue it in a godly manner.
Many books are all theology, zero practicality. A few are all pragmatism, no theological foundation. This book, however, is biblical and extremely practical.
The book is also engaging and entertaining: I found myself laughing and maybe shedding a tear or two. And it's not too short nor too long. (The audiobook is also high-quality).
The foreword kindly gives advice to parents, churches, and married couples on how they can love and support singles.
Best book on the subject I have ever read!1 person found this helpful
