The Dating Manifesto

A Drama-Free Plan for Pursuing Marriage with Purpose

De: Lisa Anderson

Narrado por: Jaimee Draper

It's Time to Do a Dating 180

Face it, your attitudes about marriage and the path to marriage are probably wrong. Some you've inherited, some you've simply bought - hook, line, and sinker - and some you've made up yourself. They have translated into bad action (or no action) in dating and relationships. But it's not too late; you can break the cycle of dating dysfunction and learn to honor marriage, marry well, and live intentionally while you wait. As a single still walking out her own story, Lisa proves it's possible. The Dating Manifesto is neither a cheesy formula for finding a spouse nor a feel-good book about how the person for you is "out there" if you only "believe." Instead it's a challenge to wise up, own your issues, and chart a bold new course for your relationship future.

The narrator is a distraction

The book is good, and offers a lot of interesting and helpful insight the narrator, however, is awful. She over acts the reading. It distracts from the book and comes off as a bad theater monologue.

Churches Take Heed

I really enjoyed this book, especially chapter 13. One of the fellow singles at church will be meeting with our pastor regarding restarting our singles ministry, and I strongly suggested her listening to chapter 13 as a means to identify our needs as a group. I am also pretty impressed that I got through this book in just a couple of days by listening in the car and periodically while at work. I was able to capture a lot of information amidst my school work, duties at work and additional leisure reading.

New perspectives

What made the experience of listening to The Dating Manifesto the most enjoyable?

The author obviously took her time to really think of experiences she herself has had that lend to the story. if you found yourself wondering if what she was saying is truly applicable then she would add a story in which her experience was shown to be true.

What did you like best about this story?

It was an easy to understand and flowing read where I didn't feel like I was being lectured but I felt like I was getting advice. I also didn't feel like this book was telling me how where and when to get married as much as it was giving young adults advice on their dating life and helping explain all different situations on why one relationship may or may not have worked out.

Which scene was your favorite?

The chapter about the 5 reasons you're not in love. TRUTH.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Theres not a ONE for everyone.

Any additional comments?

I read this book after a bad breakup thinking it would help me understand how to get into a more healthy future relationship. instead I came out understanding more about myself and other people and getting a new perspective on being single and on my future dating. You don't have to be a christian to enjoy this book either. There are underlying tones of religion but the main point to the book gets across without all the religious talk. REALLY recommend for anyone in their 20's or 30's single, in a relationship, happy or sad with either one.

Encouraging book about dating with a Christian perspective

I enjoyed hearing the audiobook format for this book. I would recommend this book for both men and women who are looking to get a different perspective on dating and singleness in the church. Lisa Anderson has a lot of wisdom rooted in her personal life and experiences through the boundless ministry.

Loved Lisa's modern and direct approach to Biblical marriage and the path to getting there!

Such a sweet book, full of honesty and blunt reality. I loved the way Lisa challenged both the men and women to think about marriage now, and to be proactive in their dating lives. So much more than a how-to book, she shared practical steps to take to start dating biblically and to fixing our eyes on God's plans. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
