Rick Phillips is the pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Coral Springs Margate in Florida and is the author of the book, Holding Hands, Holding Hearts--Recovering a Biblical View of Christian Dating.
The Bible says nothing about dating. Dating is a construct of modern culture. Since the Bible is relevant to all of life, what does the Bible say about relationships? From that perspective, it points to marriage, therefore if a Christian does date, their goal should be marriage as well.
Overall, this book is a practical primer for devoted followers of Jesus who want to understand how a dating relationship may fruitfully grow toward marriage so that the relationship gives glory to God.
From this perspective, pastor Phillips covers numerous areas including how the Bible views singleness in contrast to being married, the development of inner beauty, online dating services and more.
