Thanks, Big Bro!
Thoughtful and straightforward. A loving guide sharing information so many women need to hear. I've already recommended it to several people. It's as if he took all his videos and put it together succinctly by focusing on one biblical story. This is so helpful, as instead of jumping all around the Bible and to multiple cultural references, you can walk through a beautiful love story unfolding while you learn in a stable setting. Really cool how God put this together through Mark. I hope he keeps writing.

I really enjoyed this book. Its helpful to have examples from the Bible, and the story of Ruth and Boaz is powerful. I like the examples and the explanations are easy to understand. The 16 rules are somewhat different than some secular dating advice which is good because a lot of advice out there gives me a bad feeling. Anyway, I think it's helpful and gives hope.

A gift from a friend. As it often happens with faith-themed books, it "accidentally" answered some of my questions, non-related to the book's topic. :D
