The Power of Passion: Applying the Love of Christ to Dating Relationships

"The Power of Passion," written by Rob Eagar, is a very well-written book on an important issue: relationships. The author has allowed God to use the pain of divorce to teach and equip him to base new relationships on the solid foundation of his own response to Christ's love. My husband and I lead a faith-based singles' group, and we have been reading through this book at our weekly care meetings. It has provided excellent insights not only on dating, but also our walk with Christ and the power of His grace in our everyday lives and struggles. We highly recommend this resource.

I cant say enough about this book! I have read it and tell all my single friends to get it and read it! Rob is on track and tells it from a fresh veiw and backs it all up with the Bible! We studied it in my singles group and it changed my whole outlook on dating and alot about life as well. I can say, i am now engaged to a wonderful Christian woman and the book really helped me find her with an outlook like i never had before! READ IT!!!!!!

Power of Passion is a refreshing book on Christ-centered dating. While other books on this topic either reject dating altogether or grudgingly accept it as a necessary evil, Eager presents romantic relationships as something to be unashamed of and embraced by spiritual people. Starting from Christ's own passionate love for us, he shows how we have the awesome opportunity to reflect that love towards others, especially in dating and marriage. Furthermore, he has incredible practical advice that any single has to consider in the dating process.

I definitely recommend this book to singles, whether in a committed dating relationship, engaged, pre-engaged, dating different people, or not dating at the time. It has something to offer. This is a quick and easy read that really encouraged me and offered some rock solid advice. This would be especially uplifting for someone who has suffered through a break-up recently too. I enjoyed reading it this past week!
