I know that no two people are totally compatible, and in a marriage of two sinners, there will be difficulties. But sometimes I wonder if we will make it. There are issues over which we keep on stumbling. Am I being oversensitive? Am I worrying about nothing? Or, are my concerns about our compatibility valid?”

Commendations
Lou Priolo has authored another volume addressing a crucial issue of life from a Christian worldview. This one deals with dating while also tackling issues inevitably related to dating that committed Christians both need and desire to be answered. But the surpassing value of this work is the blessing of another example from this prolific author of how God’s inerrant and sufficient Word rightly handled effectively provides a faithful and effective Gospel-saturated and Christ-centered life view leading to a Spirit-filled lifestyle demonstrating the preeminence of Christ in all things.
The little things we gloss over at the start of a relationship can grow into thorny vines which can strangle a marriage and bury it in toxic fruit. Lou Priolo draws on his wide counseling experience to help couples at any stage of marriage to identify—and then start rooting out - the most common and insidious faults that may overwhelm them in time. Danger Signs is a thoughtful, searching tool for improving your most important earthly union—your marriage—and likely, your own walk with Christ.
Endorsement from another Biblical Counselor
Danger Signs of an Unhealthy Dating Relationship is a practical and biblical look into the "red flags" of dating relationships. I think that anyone dating or thinking about dating would benefit greatly from this book. I will recommend it to my adult grandchildren and I recommend it to you!

Courtship and Dating: So What’s the Difference? (Dennis Gundersen)
$6.75Considered by many the most sensible and Biblical book on courtship in print. Chapters on the right role of parents in their children’s choices; on relationships for the purpose of service rather than mere entertainment; on guarded moral protection and accountability rather than total freedom; on the benefits of waiting for one partner rather than being a “serial dater”. And much more.

Pleasing People: How not to be an “approval junkie” (Lou Priolo)
$12.75Full of Scripture and challenging to the reader, Pleasing People takes aim at a problem common in all of us: the desire to be liked by others. But the book also wisely delineates when pleasing people is biblical. The penetrating exercises throughout the text will help readers see how this sin manifests itself in their lives. Useful for both personal reading and for group study.
Do you worry what other people think of you? Do you avoid conflicts rather than trying to resolve them? Are you afraid to share the gospel because you fear being criticized or rejected?
When we long for the approval of men over the approval of God, we are not only neglecting God but also replacing him with a cheap substitute. Our pride drives us to value our reputation, fear rejection, and ultimately forfeit the peace of God that comes from standing up and suffering for the truth.
