Description
In this delightfully witty and uplifting book, thirty-something Lauren Windle shines a light on the trials and tribulations - and sometimes also the triumphs - of the world of Christian dating.
This is not a how-to guide.
Like having a coffee with your mates while you pore over your profile matches, heartbreaks and hilarious mishaps, Notes on Love draws on Lauren's own experiences of being single and dating in the Church to offer a funny, insightful and open-hearted collection of musings on the absurdity, messiness, pain and joy of it all.
With notes on 'How to first date' and 'A million ways to meet people' to 'Disappointment' and 'Schrodinger's boyfriend', as well as looking at how you can find true love with yourself, your friends and family and above all in Christ, Notes on Love is a thought-provoking exploration of Christian relationships in the Church today.
This is a book for anyone who has struggled with dating in Church, or who has asked themselves how to be single as a Christian only to discover there's no right answer. Warm, generous and honest, Notes on Love is an invitation to laugh, cry and know that whether you are male or female, single, coupled up or somewhere in between, you are not alone.
Featured Reviews
Thanks to NetGalley and SPCK for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book is wise, witty, warm and above all, hopeful. Lauren navigates the topic of singleness and dating in the church with great skill and humour, but also heart. Alongside the issues it's talking about it's also a passionate cry for community. Church leaders need to read this, single people, married people and everyone in between need to read it so we can navigate life with one another with grace.
