Open House - October 7

Ten years ago Joshua Harris wrote a best-selling book called I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Its approach to relationships and marriage was then seen as bold, provocative and (to some) completely alien! Now, hear Harris himself say whether he still believes what he wrote, and whether the dating game should be given away altogether.

And loud music from the neighbours at night and queue-jumping at the checkouts, we’ll talk to the author who says that courtesy, chivalry and manners aren’t just social niceties, but essential to civilisation.

I've read through Josh's books and find them to be a refreshing reminder of who we are created in Christ.
In this day and age being a relatively 'young' adult you're bombarded by images of dating and sex. Thank you Josh for putting relationships into a perspective that I would never have thought of before.

Josh Harris's book is wonderful. I never used to even think about whether saving a kiss for marriage was good or not. A friend of mine had read your book and my mum owned a copy of it so I decided to read it. What a wake up call! Josh, your book is still helping me to remain pure and I can say that I am 17 and have never dated and have never kissed anyone. For me, (maybe not for everyone else - everyone is so unique!) it has been very good. I am even hoping and aiming to keep more than kissing for marriage. Thank you so much for putting the ideas out into the world for those who had never heard of them or thought of them. Thanks so much! God bless you.
