Dating with Pure Passion: More Than Rules, More Than Courtship, More Than a Formula

Rob Eager has really hit on something strong here; that a dating relationship will fully prosper only when each individual is FULLY satisfied in Jesus Christ first and foremost, above all else. Eager says it is only by totally understanding Christ's love and acceptance for ourselves, that we are able to strive to correctly and unselfishly love someone else in a dating situation. This book was referred to me during a very difficult time in my life when my 2 year dating relationship suddendely ended. It helped me understand and endure much of the heartache I lived through during that time. If you're going through a dating downfall and need clarity on what this dating thing is all about, read this book. I know that some Christian dating books can seem over the top and impractical, but Rob Eager gives very solid and down to earth principles of what dating is really about. I was also very impressed with how Biblicaly based his book is as he constantly drops in scripture throughout the book to back up his thoughts. Not only has this book re-tooled the way I view dating relationships, but it has encouraged my overall walk with Christ a great deal. I very highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an excellent, practical, Biblical and knowledgeable approach to dating in today's world. It's a must buy.

Atlanta-based author Rob Eager has been there and done that. As a committed Christian he went through the harrowing shock and trauma of being deserted and abandoned by his wife after only 7 months of marriage. After spending much time in recovery with the support of friends, family, and professional resources, Eager eventually healed his deep hurt and remarried a few years later. During his healing process he turned to his Christian faith to learn from his experience and apply it not only in his life but in his ministry to other Christian singles seeking marriage. The outcome is his book Dating with Pure Passion which proposes a Christ-oriented approach to the nuts and bolts of dating. This book is filled with compassion and wisdom and a must read for those who are seeking a life-long happy partnership based on faith. Eager is down to earth and this book will surprise you ... it is not what one would expect ... and is very modern and relevant to all on the singles market.

Wow, this book rebuked me to the core and i am a better woman because of it. I thought it was all about me and what i wanted, but its all about Jesus, And through Jesus loving the other person through me. I never knew that God cared so much about my love life. He is my love life. love starts with God. i always thought some how that i was alone and that He really didnt understand my plight, but He has always been on my side ever before i loved a man romantically. This book will heal you, help you, edify you, wash you, purify you, amaze you, break you, soften you and love you and teach you how to really love the person in your life. So full of truth and relevant to today as the bible is always relevant to our times. After i read this book i read Boundaries in Dating. i am glad i read it in that order cause i would have misundertood the use of boundaries and attacked the man i love. God through this book will let you see the one you love the way He sees them, and He will open your eyes to see where you have been wrong. it was hard on me to see the true state of my heart, i was so ashamed of my self. i have a new love and adoration for the man i loves welfare and most of all his personal walk with God and not just what i want him to do or feel for me. The passion of Christ was and is for every area of our lives,including dating.

I just got Dating with Pure Passion yesterday and almost finished it last night! I wish that I could have read this book 3 years ago. It's an excellent tool to learn the godly path to true love. Rob Eagar has a clear, forthright writing-style and offers relatable, real-life illustrations. I highly recommend this book!

Dating with Pure Passion is probably the best book I've read concerning Christian singleness. Other books tend to be overly idealistic or lean toward spiritual formulas. Rob Eagar has taken the topic of dating, and used it to point singles to their biggest need, which is understanding the love that God has towards us. This is a lesson that must be learned by every human being who wants to experience a great relationship, whether they're single or married.
