I have mixed feelings about this book. I picked it up on a whim from an estate sale several years ago, and never really got into it until this year, when I was reorganizing my bookshelves (aka getting all the books to fit in the case :D) and remembered that I had it.
So I totally agreed with the premise, that we single people should focus our thoughts on God and not on the men around us. I agreed with journaling, using this time to draw closer to God, serve others, and just get to know people in a friendly sort of way.
I agreed with the whole idea of watching out for red flags, and progressing slowly in your relationships, and premarital counseling, as well. I like that she brings out marriage stresses and issues, and she provides SO much to talk about with your potential suitor/boyfriend/date/betrothed, whatever you want to call him :P
The thought to set aside 6 months to focus on your spiritual life, and not to date at all is what's got me thinking "wait a minute here . . . " Let me explain: this is a great idea! This is great advice! But I don't think that the author makes it very clear that at the END of those 6 months, you aren't guaranteed to meet your match and marry and live happily ever after. And I think that several people might look at this book as a whole as a roadmap to marriage, thinking that once they complete it and check off all the boxes, boom! their man will come.
Don't get me wrong -- the author in no way says this. But it's not explicitly denied, either, and while I understand that the author isn't responsible for the thoughts of other people, I do wish that she had made a statement about doing this so you can grow spiritually, and if you meet a guy, fine and good, but that's not the end goal. 'Cause it kinda sounds like it might be, although I know that it's not. So it's definitely a heart issue, and if you go into this book knowing that and truly desiring to grow closer to the Lord during your period of singleness, then this is a great book for you!
I'd recommend it, but with the caution to chew the meat and spit out the bones, as I didn't *quite* agree with all the theology contained within the pages.

This book is a must read for single young women who desire to marry one day, who's looking for love in all the wrong places, who's presently courting, and for the young lady who's looking for "Mr. Right."
It will help build your self-esteem, and to choose wisely as it pertains to the opposite sex. Very informative, practical and true to its content. It's a must read for every daughter, sister, and friend.

This is a very genuine Christian based dating book, I've read it twice. I wish I would have had this book when I was younger...I might have made some smarter decisions. I like that P.B. Wilson includes her own story while giving her view/advice on Christian dating. I never once found something that seemed "incorrect" or out of context, as far as how God would want us to date. I actually really respect her advice to give up dating for 6 months and spend that time with God instead. I love how she includes stories from other people, as well. Good read, I recommend it! Especially if you're needing to start over fresh with dating.

Wow, just wow!
I came across this book from a podcast I was listening to. Instead of doing a blind buy, I went ahead and did the free sample reading on kindle. After that I was hooked in! Don’t be discouraged by the title of this book! The timing of this book could only be from God. There is so much godly instruction for Christian woman can glean from. I’ve actually encouraged a group of friends to embark on this 6month Journey together! I’m looking forward to the process and the outcome with God to meet my knight in shining armor!

This is a wonderful genuine book to read for single women on the lookout for their knight in Shinning Armor. Biblical truth is displayed in all of the 11 chapters in the book. I believe chapter 4 or 5 really struck home for me when she mentions how father's need to display the tender love towards their daughters. 10/10 would recommend. This book gave me some insight on what questions to ask for when the time comes (God willing) for a man who wants to pursue me. A little confidence boost that I needed for whenever that time does happen.

Good Read
I wish I would have been introduced to this book before meeting my first husband :)… This book has shed some light on biblical truth concerning marriage and how we should date and I’m grateful this book would definitely help me in my journey on selecting whom I shall marry in the future.

Good for any unmarried woman wanting to know why it’s so important to abstain from sex, until marriage. This book challenges you to try harder for Christ’s sake. The lessons in this book will stay with you long term.

GREAT book! I've read it multpile times and gifted it to many people. I am so glad my mentor gave this to me to read. I actually read this book when I was 15 years old. Followed the instructions and after my six-month journal journey, (you'll have to read to know what I mean) I met the man I'd marry 4 years later. Must read for ladies!

I just finished reading this book all the way through this time. I tried to read it two other times but was never able to finish it. It's a great book that really challenges you to trust God and focus solely on Him. I read this book in a little over a week and am truly encouraged. I recommend it to any woman who is truly and sincerely seeking a peace unlike any other.

This was an excellent book! P.B. Wilson talks about taking time away from the "dating game". She encourages Christians to go on a dating fast. In the book she discusses many issues that should be considered before you are ready to date/court God's way. :-)

I read this book in a couple of days... I could not put this book down once i got into it! A good way to describe what God wants us and expects of us and our future mates during the courtship process...
I loved this book!

How to avoid the Wrong one's and develop God's preference for you. I recommend going thrhough the 6 months of development that this book recommends and the books that go with this 6 month period. I have finally finished them and it was an unforgetable and valuable experience!

I would recommend this book to any unmarried woman. It's a great book and it even has a chapter that finally explained submission to me in a way that didn't make me freak out.

I've been wandering on and off this path for almost the past two years - post divorce. I'm thankful that my friend handed me this GPS.
