Introduction --

PART one : Priniciples. What do you have in mind? : Integrity daters remember their purpose : to bless one another to the glory of God -- Loving as Jesus loved : integrity daters treat all members of the body with equal concern -- Speaking the truth in love : integrity daters speak the truth in love -- "Under the terms of this contract" : integrity daters refuse to make unspoken, unwanted, unmeant, lying vows -- White lies and promises : integrity daters differentiate between romantic interest, commitments, and obligations -- Who's pulling the strings? : Integrity daters refuse to place each other under relational obligation -- Sex : integrity daters avoid sexual intimacy and physical-sexual communication -- Day time, night time, lots of time : integrity daters spend time together -- No grievous burden : integrity daters trust God to meet their needs and fulfill their hearts' desires --

PART two : Questions and answers. How do integrity daters date? -- How do integrity daters get married? -- Just a few more questions! -- Appendices. Brothers and sisters in Christ : what the Bible says -- Integrity dating, boyfriend-girlfriend, "serious" dating, and marriage relationships -- How relationships progress toward marriage -- About the author.

Subject: John Holzmann is convinced that men and women of all ages need one another. He believes each one of us will suffer a distorted view of the world if we refuse to enter into and maintain close relations with members of the opposite sex. At the same time, he says, biblical principles disallow the kinds of relationships that most of us refer to when we speak of boyfriends and girlfriends. Using Scripture as his guide and applying insights gained from careful observation of common behavior in our culture, Mr. Holzmann seeks to help readers understand how to become true friends with members of the opposite sex. Relationships of integrity, Holzmann says, promote a healthy joy in each other's presence, a freedom that those involved in boyfriend-girlfriend relationships never experience. And they permit you to get to know others -- Subject: This book offers a practical biblical model of male-female relationships based on our status as sons and daughters of God. "We must treat each other as brothers and sisters right up to the point of our becoming engaged," says the author. Raises basic questions too often overlooked. Challenging! Highly recommended for parents of children beginning to show interest in members of the opposite sex and for mature sixth graders and older. - Publisher
