The Runaway Eve Book Club is once again in session. We're continuing our deep dive into the infamous "I Kissed Dating Goodbye", written by Evangelical darling of the 90s Joshua Harris. Yes, he's since renounced the book. Yes, he's since "apologized". But, as they say... "there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known". (It's the Bible. The Bible says that.) So we're taking Josh to task and discussing the ways he upheld and solidified the damaging and dangerous beliefs inherent to Christian dating and courtship, and holding him accountable for the ways this book has reverberated through many of our lives.

In this episode, I mention Ravi Zacharias. While I'm hesitant to send you to Christianity Today legitimately, the most comprehensive overview of who he was and what he did can be found here. Massive content warning for themes of rape, sexual assault, abuse of power, etc. 

If you want to read along with "I Kissed Dating Goodbye", I would suggest using Daddy G to search for a free pdf copy, which is what I did. If you must purchase the book, please at least look for an indie bookstore to patronize. :)
