Review
"This book is a must-read for today's singles, no matter their spiritual background. Growing up in a culture of sexual confusion and experimentation, this generation is looking for straightforward answers to tough questions. Mindy is like a big sister who tells it like it is while maintaining an understanding attitude. I found Sex and Dating to be refreshingly honest, disarmingly witty, currently practical and biblically sound. She offers hope and grace in the midst of our brokenness without resorting to the latest radical solution in dating theories. With a foundation of Scripture and experience, this book sets us on the right course toward experiencing what God intended for relationships." (Michelle Graham, author of Wanting to Be Her: Body Image Secrets Victoria Won't Tell You )
"Shaped by real-life interactions with teens and college students, Sex and Dating: Questions You Wish You Had Answers To does more than simply answer tough questions. It provides satellite navigation away from dating disasters and guides toward healthy relationships." (Timothy Smith, author of The Danger of Raising Nice Kids and family coach, www.parentscoach.org )

I LOVE this book! It says the target audience is young adults and I would add that this book is for anyone who is single. Seriously, people... there are a lot of books out there for singles and dating but this book is definately one that you will get a lot out of. There are a lot of books out there that give you "rules," to live by in dating - This book is different in that it addresses how God designed us to approach and be in relationship and it does it in such a way that it appeals to your heart and desire to live out God's design for dating. I am single and I mentor a lot of young single women who have questions and are wrestling with the idea of how to date in a "healthy" way. This book addresses that and much much more. Buy a few copies for friends and use it to discuss the ideas presented in the book. You will be enriched for sure.

An excellent source of balanced opinions on topics related to sex and dating. A balanced Christian perspective that is neither too stuffy nor too relaxed. I loved the Question:Answer format of the book. It allowed me to read about the questions I had and leave the others for another time.
I do campus ministry at the Univ of IL and actually know the author. I found this book incredibly helpful for me in helping answer some of college students most common questions about sex and dating. I actually gave a talk for one of our church services on the topic of sex and dating and I used this book as a primary resource. We sold 10 of the books at a discounted price after our service.
I would recommend this to anyone, especially high school and college students.

I feel like I was tremendously blessed to read this book. The format is a Q&A so there was no need to read it cover to cover, but I couldn't help myself and devoured it in 2 days. I was in a dark place, having to answer a lot of difficult questions to myself about how I want my life to look after a difficult break up. This book was a guide and a life changer for me. The questions about dating, relationships, sex, understandings and misunderstanding are all legitimate hard questions that many avoid asking or even wondering about. This book answers them in YOUR privacy.
I encourage anyone who is single, casually dating or seriously dating, engaged to be married to look into this book to get perspective, see things in a different light or to be challenged outside of their comfort zone. This book is not one to lay a guilt on your hear but an encouragement, I strongly believe that. God has really used this book to change and continue to transform me into the woman I desire to be.
