Journey To Agape
A Handbook for Christian Courtship and Beyond

Finally, a comprehensive guide for finding true love, God's way without all of the relational messes!  This book reveals the principles of True Courtship that come directly from gospel of Jesus Christ.  Discover how Jesus' passion and pursuit of His bride reveals the keys of building a covenant love relationship that will stand the test of time and never loose its beauty and royal dimensions.  The revelation of "True Courtship" emerges directly from the cross of Christ's passion for His bride and the message is absolutely life-changing. 

This book will show you how to find that fulfilling and permanent marriage relationship under the full favor and blessing of God. 

Journey to Agape is also an excellent resource for parents to instruct their teenagers in the path of Godly romance. Left to the themselves, young adults will do what everyone is doing (dating), and get what every one is getting (the 53% divorce rate!). Teaching your children the ways of true courtship will keep them from the damage of premature romantic involvement, and give them realistic and proper expectations for successful marriage.  Through simple but powerful illustrations, your teenagers will learn the importance of preserving the beauty of first love romance.  They will gain a deep understanding of the disasterous affects that dating and broken love relationships will have on the future of their marriage and family life.

If you are tired of the brokenness and cardboard imitations, this book is for you.

I sat down on Saturday and read through the entire book. W O W !! What a revelation to me. I am almost 40 years old and have never been introduced to such powerful and dynamic principles. I know this book is birthed on Biblical Foundation. I am so excited to be able to teach my daughter these basic principles. Things that seem so simple, easy and practical to apply have been lost in the social circles of our day. I was so excited after reading it I have shared with three other churches in less than a week and we are planning a seminar in our church open to the public. Have told everyone I know no matter their age or marital staus and gave the book to a dear young friend about to be married. This book is for ALL. I sincerely believe this book will be a cornerstone to marriage counselors, pre-marriage counsel and should be a major part of all youth programs every where. Unfortunately our teens are not being taught these simple basics. We teach them what not to do but do not always give them the why's. This magnificent book is all about WHY. --- Carrie Enjoyed it: Yes Impacted your life: Yes Recommend to a friend: Yes
