"Convinced that instruction on marriage is for God’s youth early on, Pastor Cory Griess has provided a distinctive devotional aid for family worship. Parents, do not delay! Before our children enter the dating scene, where feelings tend to inhibit clear Christian thought, we must ground them now in scriptural principles. The youth of the church will soon make pivotal decisions in their dating years that will permanently affect their married lives. Here is a biblical, insightful, and practical guide for Christian parents, many of whom have vowed at baptism to train their children in the doctrines of scripture to the utmost of their power." —Pastor Jonathan Mahtani
"As the title indicates, this little book is designed to be a tool to instruct children concerning dating and marriage. That in itself is an indication of the value of the book. Anything that will help future generations develop a proper biblical and Reformed understanding of dating and marriage is a valuable asset. But there are a number of unique features about Rev. Griess’ book that make it even more valuable. For one thing, the book is not aimed at young people in their late teens and early twenties, the typical audience for a book on dating. Rather, the book is geared toward younger children. Second, though it aims at the up-building of the youth, it is written especially for parents as a help to them in teaching their children about dating and marriage. As a parent of small children I appreciated that most of the devotionals were of manageable length, usually involving the reading of a few verses of Scripture along with a brief explanation. I am appreciative of the work Rev. Griess put into this book and view it as a valuable resource for teaching my own children. I would encourage all parents to buy it and make use of it as well." -Joshua Engelsma
"When my eldest daughter entered her senior year of high school, we had a brunch date to plan her future. We enjoyed navigating through ideas toward her ideal major, place of study, and vocation. But I surprised her when I brought up the importance of looking for a husband. I reminded her (per Jeremiah 29:6 and Genesis 24) that it is my covenant duty to help her find a husband and that she should not be left alone on her own to do so. In God’s wonderful providence, I was shortly thereafter introduced to Rev. Cory Griess’ book, Preparing for Dating and Marriage: A 31-Day Family Devotional. It was perfect timing. Not only would I be helping my daughter (and all my children) find a spouse, but I would have something to prepare us all for the process. I heartily call upon all Christian parents to take advantage of this unique approach to preparing our children for marriage that provides an incubator for a proper outlook on life and seeking first Christ’s kingdom through one of the main ways He both builds and grows His church." -Grant Van Leuven
