Review

"Hollywood Dating Blunders lets readers compare their own life with characters that they have laughed with and cried over" -- Rich Thomas, President, Equally Yoked Christian Singles

From the Publisher

This book is destined to be on the New York Times' best-selling list. The concept of linking Hollywood Dating Blunders with screenplays is an incredible stroke of genius. The movie clips keep the book entertaining and funny while driving home the much needed points. This common sense book about dating has already been a hit in our pre-screening with today's singles.

The "RULES OF DATING" provide singles the needed boundaries to follow when attempting to build successful relationships.

The "QUESTIONS TO ASK" provide the perfect subject matter for checking out new prospects.

The "BAGGAGE AND WARNING SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR" are the perfect red flags to help singles back away from bad relationships before intimacy, involvement, or even a commitment causes them hurt.

Laugh at the blunders, and then avoid being on the casualty list.

“I found this book very enlightening and helpful. In fact, I used it as a step-by-step guide when I began my last dating relationship. I admired how each chapter dealt with such all-important areas and/or character issues. And, I loved how the chapters gave Rules to Follow, Questions to Ask, and Warning Signs to Watch for in dating, that were derived from years of counseling and relationship seminar experience by the authors. If I’d only had this book years ago, I might have saved myself a lot of heartache and pain from dating the wrong men. It also ‘hit home’ in a few areas, revealing to me where I needed to grow or change to be the best partner I could be to someone someday. I enjoyed the humor throughout the book. It made the book not only fun to read but easier to remember its valuable information.” Cynthia Martin, Assistant Copy Chief, Creative Advertising

“I met Jim while attending the Road Adventure. The principles learned there have been carried to a new level in Hollywood Dating Blunders. This handbook is a must have, to read over and over again. Knowing the rules to follow, questions to ask, and baggage to watch for will revolutionize your dating relationships by getting past the head and into the heart!”

Karen Clark, Single Parents Network

“After reading Hollywood Dating Blunders, you will wish you knew then what you know now! This book will give you the tools you need in achieving dating success!”
