Joshua Harris caused quite a stir in 1997 when he wrote I Kissed Dating Goodbye. It was hugely
popular in Evangelical circles. Harris sold more than 1.2 million copies.

people often do, seeing Harris’s fall as an inevitable conclusion of whatever
theological axe they have to grind with him. I share this article because I
feel it is a better response.

and I’ll keep saying it – I am so glad to be part of Gloria Dei! I love that we
are seeking to grow in faith, to grow the kingdom, and to reach more people
with the Gospel.
