The New Rules for Love, Sex, and Dating

By Andy Stanley

I finished reading this book April 21, 2016. It took about a week to read, but you could probably easily get through this in a day or two. I've been listening to Your Move with Andy Stanley for several years now, but with my re-energized passion for reading I wanted to read what I've been listening Andy talk about for so long. Having been in the same ol' relationship time after time, with it always ending the same way, I made a point to start being intentional in my life with who I spent my time with, and what I was willing to do, or maybe more importantly not do, and this book really challenges you to focus on becoming the right person, rather than finding the right person. This is one of those books where if you takes notes or highlight like I do, you'll find yourself not being able to put the highlighter down.

"Are you who the person you are looking for is looking for?"

"As a follower of Jesus, I'm convinced restoration, renewal, and redemption are available to all of us regardless of what we have done or what was done to us."

"Is there hope? Yes. There's hope. There's a way back. The way back begins with your decision to become someone rather than merely meet someone. The way back begins with your decision to write a better story, a story you would be proud to tell your children or grandchildren. Those are decisions you can make today. Right now. Those decisions ensure the next chapter will be better than the previous one."
