Synopsis

Everyone wants to be loved—to find someone who will stick with them through all of life's ups and downs, someone who is in it for the long haul. But in a world where dating is increasingly based on split-second decisions and geared toward casual relationships rather than marriage, it's easy for single people to feel discouraged, used, or unworthy of true love and lasting affection. Reality just never seems to match up with our (often wildly unrealistic) expectations.

Jonathan "JP" Pokluda has counseled thousands of young singles through the pain and heartbreak of dating the world's way. Now he wants to dispel the myths, misconceptions, and fairy tales you've believed about dating and replace them with the truth from the One who invented marriage, created you to crave relationship, and is the very embodiment of true love. With plenty of true stories about relationships healed and love found, this practical book explains God's purposes for singleness, dating, and marriage and covers why you should date, who you should date, and how you should date.

If you're ready to trade the world's way of dating for the way that actually works, it's time to begin dating well.

Goodreads review by Josh on January 17, 2021

Christian dating books are usually exceptionally cringey, so when I say that JP Pokluda’s Outdated is only moderately cringey, please understand it as a compliment. Seriously, the sex/love/dating books that tend to get popular in the Christian evangelical spectrum range from good but formulaic (5 Lo......more

I thoroughly enjoyed this book by JP. He's one of my favorite pastors to listen to because of his humor and his love for the Lord, so it was fun reading this! He's very thorough, straight up, and honest about the lies the world has told us about singleness, dating, and marriage, and what God says ab......more
