Book •
Joshua Harris's "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" promoted abstinence and a specific approach to relationships, significantly influencing evangelical culture.
The book's teachings on dating, courtship, and premarital sex had a profound impact on many young people.
However, years later, Harris publicly apologized for the harm caused by his book's rigid and often damaging advice.
His apology highlighted the unintended consequences of his teachings and the need for a more nuanced and compassionate approach to relationships and sexuality.
The book remains a significant example of the influence of religious texts on personal choices and the potential for such influence to be both positive and negative.
