Wisdom with Dating

A sweet reader of the Emma Joy blog recently left a comment asking if I would post future blog entries on a few different topics; one of which is "Dating and Courtship".

I thought of the perfect book for this topic!  It is called, "It's (Not That) Complicated" by Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin.

I have the book myself and have actually purchased it for different girls I know of...hoping it will bear fruit in their lives and give them practical, thought provoking, and great wisdom to apply with the topic of dating and boy-girl relationships.

Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin also have a web site that contains a lot of great info on different topics.  You may find it here:  http://visionarydaughters.com/

One resource I have purchased by them is a webinar entitled, "Reclaiming Beauty".  It is certainly worth watching if you would like to know more about beauty.  Their web site describes the webinar as follows:

Discover:

• What it means to represent the Lord as His ambassadors to the world
• Where true beauty starts
• What the Bible says about beautification and adornment
• How we should respond to the world’s idea of beauty

• The proper priority-level of beauty in the Christian’s life
• The biblical relationship between the physical and the spiritual
• What it means to be separate from the world
• What we can learn from the beauty industry
• What the beauty industry has gotten wrong

Get practical tips on:
