  3. The production company has communicated that the film will be released for free online sometime in early 2019. I never intended to hurt you.

  5. The fact that a flawed man could sin a flawed book and somehow that could help some people is amazing to me. A Statement on I Kissed Dating Goodbye For many years people have asked whether I still agree with my book I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Obviously, the real world doesn't work that way. In glad to this question, some readers have told me the book harmed them. I was writing to fellow Christians, I was saying, 'We need to be serious about our faith, we won't have sex until we're married, and if we want to avoid premarital sex, we should radically change our lifestyle, and that north we should stop dating. Studying church history helped me see that every generation of Christians has blind spots and makes mistakes. I recommend books like Boundaries in Dating by Dr.
  6. Cookie Settings - The fact that a flawed man could write a flawed book and somehow that could help some people is amazing to me. The book also gave some the impression that a certain methodology of relationships would deliver a happy ever-after ending—a great marriage, a great sex life—even though this is not promised by scripture.
  7. It feels like just yesterday I was that 16-year-old girl, sitting under a tree at Creation Fest East, listening to him share about his best-selling book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye. It swept the nation like wildfire and totally changed the dating culture within the Church. Fast forward a couple decades, and here we are today, taking a second look at how his book impacted the dating scene — in both good ways, and not so good ways. We would love your feedback in the comments below! A lot of readers liked it. And many others thought it was terrible — and told me so. But twenty years later, I regret that I failed to carefully engage with criticisms of my book. So why am I doing it now? There are many factors but three reasons stand out. I started listening to hurting people in my own church. So we held a series of meetings in my house where people could gather together and tell their stories. As I listened to those stories I began to see a new side of church life. Ever since I had come to the church I had been a leader of one kind or another. I was the one speaking. I was the author of books. I was an advocate of the church and our values. But as I sat there listening I realized how different the experience of the average person could be. I heard how values could be applied in graceless ways. And I knew it was true because I saw that mindset in my own life. My eyes were opened to the fact that in a church culture even well-intentioned practices and godly values can be applied in a way that deeply hurt people. That was the beginning of a dawning realization that my own book could contribute to this kind of unhealthy culture in a family or in a church community. I became a student. Studying church history helped me see that every generation of Christians has blind spots and makes mistakes. Why should we be surprised that we will need to reevaluate? Then fellow students began to graciously share ways my writing had negatively affected their approach to relationships. Listening to their stories gave me the courage to their experiences with my book. One conversation with a fellow student was with a woman named Jessica Van Der Wyngaard. She had a vision to create a documentary to talk about the real experiences and challenges faced by Christian singles. When I told her about my journey of reevaluating my own book we began a discussion that eventually led to a documentary film project called You can learn more about this project 3. I realized the issue is bigger than my book. Many people have wanted me to quickly make a statement about how I view my book now—either an apology or a defense. But I have purposefully drawn out the process. I asked one of my professors to oversee a process of study in which I examined the historical, spiritual and sociological factors at work in the church when I wrote my book and in the twenty years after its release. I read hundreds of stories from people who were influenced by my book and had phone conversations with many of them. I reread my book and examined how it aligned with Scripture. The vision for the documentary is to capture more of this journey as I meet face-to-face with both readers as well as Christian authors and thinkers who are addressing the topic of singleness, sex, romance and dating. It has to do with the kind of Christian communities we form. It has to do with how we conceive of healthy practices for Christian living. Is there always one right way to practice principles? Jessica and I want to produce a high quality documentary to help tell this story and spark conversation among Christians about these important topics. In hopes others might value this too, Jessica launched a to raise funds for our volunteer crew to complete filming and ultimately give the film away as a free resource. We will never get everything perfectly. She helps people learn about God, themselves, what matters in a relationship.
