Courtship for Christians

Her Hand in Marriage
by Douglas Wilson
Moscow, Idaho: Canon Press, 1997
(95 pages; $7.50, paper)
reviewed by Kevin Offner

I have been working with single adults through InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for nearly fourteen years now, and for some time I have been convinced that something is seriously wrong with dating in America. It has been painful to watch scores of twenty-somethings long to be married, only to be burned by dating as it is practiced today. Dating simply does not prepare one well for marriage.
