Where Harris's first book encouraged readers to throw off modern ideas of romantic fixation, Boy Meets Girl goes to the next level and urges single Christian men and women to pursue courtship and ultimately marriage, thoughtfully and prayerfully. Knowing that many readers will balk at the idea of premeditated "courtship", Harris insists that dating should not be emotional recreation but rather a careful decision rooted in obedience to God. While the anecdotes used to reveal true-to-life scenarios about dating pitfalls are somewhat elementary (and geared to those in their 20s), Harris succeeds in hammering home the point that obedience to God's word, selfless love, community, purity and satisfaction in God are the most important aspects of any relationship. The last section of the book is particularly practical, discussing forgiveness of past sexual sin, questions to ask before tying the knot and how an understanding of our sinful nature can lead to conflict resolution. For Harris's mere 20-something years of life experience, his maturity and devotion to God are sincere evidence that he has indeed practised what he has preached, resulting in a passionate relationship with the love of his life. --Jill Heatherly...
