The Dating Manifesto

Lisa Anderson used to think that marriage just “happens” and that preparing for her future fairytale meant little more than thinking, Of course I'll get married… someday. But as she learned the hard way, advice about the road to marriage- even from the most well-meaning sources- is often passive and misguided.

Finally, a no-holds-barred word on dating, preparing for marriage, and maximizing singleness from someone who's actually living it. The Dating Manifesto is a bold yet practical wake-up call for single men and women that cuts through the clutter to expose the attitudes and actions that keep them from moving toward marriage with purpose.

Gary Thomas book endorsement: “A wise book from a woman who understands the pressures of Christian dating and singleness as well as anyone in the world. Lisa's fun personality, concern for others, depth of thought, and no-nonsense approach to life and love are on full display. I loved The Dating Manifesto and am giving a copy to both my daughters.” –Gary Thomas, author of Sacred Marriage and The Sacred Search
