Ready to trade the world's way of dating for the way that actually works?
Everyone wants to be loved--to find someone who will stick with them through all of life's ups and downs, someone who is in it for the long haul. But in a world where dating is increasingly based on split-second decisions and geared toward casual relationships rather than marriage, it's easy to feel discouraged, used, or unworthy of true love and lasting affection.

Jonathan "JP" Pokluda has counseled thousands of young singles through the pain and heartbreak of dating the world's way. Now he wants to dispel the myths, misconceptions, and fairy tales you've believed about dating and replace them with the truth from the One who invented marriage, created you to crave relationship, and is the very embodiment of true love. With plenty of true stories about relationships healed and love found, this practical book explains God's purposes for singleness, dating, and marriage and covers why you should date, who you should date, and how you should date.

"With kindness, compassion, and thoughtfulness, JP gives godly wisdom that walks us toward the relationships with God, others, and ourselves that we really want."--Annie F. Downs, bestselling author of 100 Days to Brave and host of That Sounds Fun podcast

"Modern dating causes pain and problems and leads to confusion and frustration. In Outdated, JP reveals that the Bible is full of wisdom principles you can use to find incredible joy in dating--and a lasting love for life."--Kyle Idleman, author Not a Fan and Don't Give Up

"Everything about dating has changed, and there is no one I trust more to help you navigate it than JP! He is a leader for the next generation."--Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head and founder and visionary of IF: Gathering
