How to Ruin Your Dating Life: A Christians Guide for Avoiding [Almost] Every Mistake in the Book by Turner & Pomarolli By Nicole Wilkinson After a friend told me about a Christian dating book I should review, I headed to the local Christian book store to check out the selection.

Even though he was consistenly put down by others, he continued to treat those people with respect and dignity. The main lesson that Atticus ... Read Full Story
