We are starting a book study titled "EVERY YOUNG MAN'S BATTLE"  (maintaining 
sexual purity.  We found it in CBD for only $7.00  I have already had 2 
other men  (not affilated with Rangers)  to read this book and help me write 
a study guide.  I think this could be an awesome time for my Expedition 
Rangers. 1 commander, 1 pastor, and 2 other men for only 5 boys.  I expect 
alot of wonderful things to happen in this group.

>Anyone familiar with the book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye"?  The author Josh 
>Harris begins with a dream of a couple at their wedding.  As the bride and 
>groom recite their vows, others stand and join them in front of the pastor. 
>  The girls stand with the groom and the men stand with the bride.  The 
>point is that for each person the bride or groom dated, a piece of their 
>heart now belongs with that other person and they come into the marriage 
>also.

>Josh then goes on to talk about the courtship ritual, starting with a 
>biblical foundation, the necessity for it, the advantages of courtship over 
>dating and more.  I haven't read the entire book yet, but I don't think he 
>gets too far into how to court, actually.  I think he has another book 
>about that aspect of it.  "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" is more for people 
>teaching (or mentoring) young people to have Godly friendships then 
>relationships.  His other book is for the young people who are ready for 
>courtship.

>I'm leaning toward courtship for my sons, over dating.  However, I'm not 
>sure that's an appropriate topic for Royal Rangers unless they are of the 
>older group.  Older Pioneers is the questionable age group.  Younger than 
>that, nope, not ready for it.
