What does the Bible say about dating? Nothing. And everything! This book offers a biblical view of relationships and provides insight on issues of commitment, attraction, and more. The challenge before us is to think biblically about an activity that isn't in the Bible and that may expose us to worldly attitudes and behaviors. When you date someone, you're more than just holding another's hands; you're holding that person's heart. We hope to show in this book that the Bible presents profound instruction and wisdom that may be directly applied to dating and that will help us to be blessed in dating relationships. - Publisher.

The God Myth and Reality: Jake McCoy, construction worker and young man grew up in northern Indiana farm country. He was engaged to a beautiful young woman, Jan, who was three months pregnant and they were engaged to be married, live a wonderful life, share their religious beliefs, and enjoy Midwestern life to the fullest that their backgrounds would allow. Madly in love, feeling on top of the world, planning a fantastic life together, they did not realize a catastrophe was headed their way. Jan was assaulted, raped, lost her pregnancy and progressed into a severe depression which ended up with the loss of her life. Jake, angry, depressed and grieving blamed God for causing this and wondered why a caring God would do such a thing to them. He lost his belief in God, became bitter with religion and questioned whether there was a God or just science and the earth. He joined the Navy, suppressing his feelings, and yet wondering if there really is a God or Supreme Being. His life would be a long journey of investigation, exploring possibilities and wondering if God was real, science, or imagination. Many questions can be answered, but in the end it is a question of whether you believe or don’t believe—that is the question.
While transgender and non-binary identities are increasingly visible, too many Christians have either maintained a fearful silence, or have attacked 'transgenderism' as a threat to Christian faith and practice. More serious theological reflection is needed, not least of all in the Roman Catholic tradition. Moreover, the Catholic context presents particular challenges that are relevant beyond the Catholic world, due to the Church's widespread involvement in healthcare provision and education, and its traditions of thought around these activities. This volume considers the various questions to do with trans people in the life of the Church from an interdisciplinary, Catholic, ecumenical perspective, reaching out to academics, clergy and educated lay readers. It brings together perspectives from a variety of disciplines to provide a rigorous, wide-ranging engagement with these pressing issues; and includes a number of trans contributors, making their voices present in these discussions, which are about them, but from which they are often excluded. The first three chapters illustrate the development of Catholic thinking on transgender issues in recent decades. The second section of the book considers transgender identity from multiple perspectives: canon legal; legal; sociological, clinical; bioethical; and educational. The last two chapters of the second section shift the focus in the direction of theology and pastoral practice, themes that are explored by emerging theological scholars in the third section of the book.
