Synopsis

Based on five years of feedback since the release of Dateable, Hungry Planet now delivers more of what their audience is asking for in B4UD8. By bridging the gap between diving head first into the dating pool or kissing dating goodbye, Hayley and Michael tackle the seven most important things every teen should know before their next date.

Designed to be easily adopted for use in churches but still created in the same relevant style of all Hungry Planet books, B4UD8 will appeal not only to teens everywhere, but to their parents and youth leaders as well. In it they will learn:

· the purpose of dating
· how to protect the temple
· why dating is not marriage
· and much more

Whether their first date or their fiftieth, B4UD8 will help teens make biblical and smart decisions about love and dating.
