“I am a disciple of the Finding Someone Special tool kit. Since I purchased it, I have amassed a lot of learning and I find I can keep dipping into from time to time on a refresher basis. It is really fantastic for dating, and even as a life skill, it’s really excellent, thank you. It can be very tempting to want to fill the silence when meeting someone for the first time. When that happened to me recently, as a result of what I had learnt in the product, I found that I was quite relaxed about the silence, started to enjoying the scenery and not having to make forced conversation made for altogether easier meeting.
The information on assessing others has been very useful – it seems pretty obvious but in each case I have found something different to what I first thought on first reading. The guidelines here definitely make a difference and the advice about my own profile is spot on. We all need it for sure!”

“I used the Open to God resource as my daily “Quiet Time and it was great to put the whole dating process into God’s hands and ask for His guidance.”

“The Finding Someone Special product is really excellent, thank you.”

“The ‘Open to God’ Box Set is a really helpful resource for putting Jesus at the centre of your search for a partner. The various chapters guide you through relevant Biblical material to reflect on the importance first and foremost of your relationship with Jesus, and how if you get that right, it is likely that the right partner will follow.

The resource encourages you to think about all aspects of a relationship, whether you are single, widowed or divorced, and helps to prepare you for the issues which may arise in any of those circumstances. It also offers guidance on the ‘difficult stuff’ of feelings of rejection, bereavement and low self-esteem.

The author offers passages from the Bible for careful reading, prayer and meditation – so called ‘Lectio Divina’ – which if you haven’t tried it, is a wonderful way to listen directly to how God is speaking to you personally in your current situation. She also offers some of her own responses to these passages, and her beliefs in respect of the most helpful  priorities for finding a suitable partner.

Each chapter, from ‘Getting the Foundation Right’ and ‘Exploring the Empty Space’ to ‘God-Ordered Steps’ and ‘A Second Chance’ includes an introduction to the Bible passage (covering the theme of the chapter and a brief theology),  a Bible passage by which to engage with God, suggestions of things to do to follow up from the period of reflection, and then a conclusion and prayer.

It provides a very reassuring means of exploring difficult issues around singleness and God’s will for one’s life, within a biblical context deriving from the historic tradition of pondering, savouring and reflecting on God’s living word as it relates to your everyday life. I have really benefitted from studying and using this resource and can highly recommend it for anyone searching for God’s will for the right relationship for them, their prospective partner, and their wider families.”
