"The book is an enjoyable and easy read....It reads like I imagine a conversation on these topics would go with a wise older brother who happened to be a pastor.”

—Rev. Cory Griess, pastor of First PR Church in Grand Rapids, MI

“Dating Differently abounds with wisdom. The author knows his topic. Yet, the strength of the book lies not in its author, but in its basis of God’s Word governing every aspect of our life, including dating.”

—Jim Regnerus, administrator of Trinity PR Christian High School in Hull, IA

“[A] virtue of the book is the practical approach. The author successfully takes the biblical wisdom of Scripture and applies this to real life situations.”

—Rev. Garry Eriks, pastor of Hudsonville PR Church in Hudsonville, MI

DATING DIFFERENTLY:

A Guide to Reformed Dating

by Joshua Engelsma

Coming this month

We’re bombarded with antichristian messages everywhere in life, and from casual hookups to casual sex, our culture’s messages on dating are no different.

But Christians don’t have to follow these norms. The Bible gives us a better way.

It’s a way of chastity and wisdom. A way that understands that marriage—the end goal of dating—is for life. The person you marry will shape who you become spiritually. And that person will also be the father or mother to the children God is pleased to give you some day.

Pastorally and accessibly, Joshua Engelsma answers the practical questions of Reformed, Christian dating based on the truth that we must date differently—with marriage as the goal and scripture as the guide.

Joshua Engelsma is a minister in the Protestant Reformed Churches of America. He lives in Doon, Iowa, with his wife, Courtney, and six children. He has served as pastor of Doon Protestant Reformed Church since 2014.
