About: Holding Hands Holding Hearts.
What does Scripture say about dating? Nothing—and everything!
According to the Bible's perspective, if you are dating you are not just holding hands—you are holding hearts. What you do with your own heart, and what you do with another's, is a matter of great importance!
This book offers a biblical view of relationships and doesn't shy away from discussing attraction, first dates, commitment and more elements that need to come together to make a successful relationship.

About the Authors
Rick and Sharon Phillips met at a church singles group and were married twenty months later. After answering God’s call to enter the ministry, Rick served as the pastor to the singles ministry in which they had met. Through their shared ministry to singles, they perceived a great need for clear biblical teaching on dating and singleness. The fruit of their ministry and of their love for singles is found in the pages of this book. They are now the parents of five children and live in South Florida, where Rick is senior minister of First Presbyterian Church of Coral Springs/Margate, FL. He is co-editor of the Reformed Expository Commentary and is the author of numerous books on the Bible and Christian living, several of which feature discussion questions written by Sharon.
