This new edition includes an extra chapter from Leslie Ludy about the surprises of life after marriage!

“I had dreamed of a perfect love story for my entire life. But somewhere in the midst of the endless cycle of temporary romances, my dreams had shattered.” How can I find a love worth waiting for?

Lay the foundation now—whether you’ve met your future spouse or not—for a lifelong romance. Bestselling authors Eric and Leslie Ludy invite you to discover how beautiful your love story can be when the Author of romance scripts every detail.

Story Behind the Book

Eric and Leslie Ludy want to offer an exciting vision of hope, proving that the Author of romance is alive and well and that true and lasting love can become a reality. Using the “four secrets to an amazing love story,” Eric and Leslie present a Christ-centered approach to building a relationship that will stand the test of time.

More About the Author

Yes, I realize I look more like a nineteen year old golf caddy than I do a credible literary voice. I'm thirty seven and I still struggle with growing facial hair (I'm just glad I wasn't born Amish). I'm one of those guys that always wanted to be a football player, not a writer. However, I had a mom who was willing to give it to me straight - she told me, "Eric dear, you just aren't built for that sort of thing!" When I asked what sort of thing I was built for, she paused, considered it, and then said, "Well honey, you are built more like a golfer!"

That sort of says it right there. I'm not a fireman, a mighty business mogul, a black ops special forces warrior - I'm a writer (the golfer of the job world). Though it might not sound very epic, I absolutely love my life and I love what I do.

I think if you were to amass the total of my published work in book form thus far it would be approximately 3,300 pages. Now that number is a bit inflated due to the fact that a good chunk of those pages were penned in collaboration with my wife, Leslie. However, since Scripture says that we are "one", I figure its perfectly ethical to claim those 3,300 pages as my own.

I (along with Leslie) currently have 13 books published. We have another three waiting in the interminable publisher birth canal. I have authored five books for Multnomah/Random House publishers. "When God Writes Your Love Story: the ultimate approach to guy/girl relationships" is the book I'm probably most known for. It spent 18 months on the Christian best-seller list and ranks as one of the top three Christian relationship books of all time.

I have three books with Thomas Nelson publishers. My favorite of that collection is one entitled "Meet Mr. Smith". It's a hilarious book about "How to find Great S-x." The book hasn't done particularly well, but I think its a winner (Spoken like a true author).

We have another four books with Harvest House Publishers. And out of this collection is my newest work being released September 2008. It's entitled "The Bravehearted Gospel" and it packs quite a punch. I'm sure I'll find out who my friends really are when that book hits the shelves.

I live in the charming little town of Windsor, Colorado. I have the world's greatest wife and I have three precious little kiddos (Hudson, Harper, and Kipling) that bring a great deal of happiness to my life.

A Solid, Balanced Approach December 8, 2001
By mjanke
Format:Paperback
Subtitled "The Ultimate Approach To Guy/Girl Relationships," WHEN GOD WRITES YOUR LOVE STORY has some big expectations to fill. Remarkably, Eric and Leslie Ludy's work actually stands up well to them.

What the Ludy's have laid out is really more of a philosophy on living that, when applied correctly, encompasses your approach to dating and relationships. WHEN GOD WRITES YOUR LOVE STORY is not about rules. As chapter four nicely explains, rules don't ultimately save you from temptation and making wrong choices. Only a full love-relationship with God can do that, and it is that exact thing that the Ludy's set as the foundation for their approach. Sounds basic and obvious, but when you see how many people are stuck in the cycle of bad relationships based upon sensual passion, physical attraction, or legalistic rulemaking it becomes clear that this approach is anything but basic. In fact, it's quite radical.

WHEN GOD WRITES YOUR LOVE STORY, then, is about giving God the "pen," of your life -- your entire life, not just your love life. The Ludy's do a fantastic job of describing why this matters, how it makes a difference, and what a life married to this choice will look like. Their writing is God-centered yet practical and very balanced. I'll say that again, because it's important -- their approach is extremely balanced, and that's what I admire most about it. The only complaint I have is that some of the dialogue in the book is a bit goofy (they use exclamation points a lot!), but because the substance of the book was so solid I was able to look past that.

If you are looking for a book that will help you not only make right dating choices but transform you entire lifestyle so that you end up in a truly happy, fulfilling and lasting marriage then WHEN GOD WRITES YOUR LOVE STORY is for you. Is it the "ultimate" approach? If not then it's sure close. It is one of the three best books on the subject that I have read (the others being BOY MEETS GIRL and BOUNDARIES IN DATING). Read all three if you can. I give it FIVE STARS.

Format:Paperback
This book absolutely changed the way I looked at romance and love, and it helped me to realize that only by doing God's will can I ever be truly happy and fulfilled in a relationship. It made me take things in perspective, made me see that I wasn't quite where God wanted me to be, that in order to be able to find the one woman for me, that I would first have to trust in Him, to love Him, to learn to love like Him. He already has a Godly woman set aside for me, somewhere... I finished the book Saturday night, and began to cry, not tears of sadness and depression, but of submission, sincerely asking God to take control of all aspects of my life.

I really think anyone of "dating age" should read this book, as it not only deals with the romantic aspects of Christian life, but really the most important thing in life, total devotion to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Give God the pen!! June 18, 2001
Format:Paperback
Wow! This book is fabulous. I think it's more inspirational than any other Christian book I've ever read. Even if you've already given God control of your life, as I had before I read Eric and Leslie's book, this book is a wonderful reminder of why you gave your life to Him, what your future rewards will be for doing so, and also gives you courage whenever you start to doubt His plan for your life.

The Ludy's often tell us to "give God the pen" and he will write us a beautiful love story. After first-hand experience, I totally agree! But even the most devoted Christians must suffer heartbreak sometimes, and when we do, it is all too tempting to say "God, could you just loan me the pen, just for a minute? I'll just write one thing myself, then I'll give it right back." Eric and Leslie are living proof that God can write a more beautiful page in your love story than you could ever dream of writing yourself. And when you start to get discouraged, remember that everything that happens to you, good and bad, is a part of God's equation for your life, the equation that equals eventual happiness. Hard to remember that sometimes? Don't worry: just buy a copy of "When God Writes Your Love Story", put it next to your Bible on the shelf, and reach for both when times get rough. You won't regret it!
