4 out of 5 stars

good advice December 30, 2008
This book has good information but also covered alot of topics that didn't pertain to me. There are points in the book for the married as well as those not yet married though.

This book was a blessng to me! December 27, 2008
Our Single's Ministry recently read and discussed this book. I could barely stay in my chair as I read it. There were so many "AHA" and "Hallelujah" moments for me. The chapters on relationships are relevant and offer great insights to the single Christian. Bishop Jakes has done an amazing job of putting together common sense and spiritual sense in an accessible and approachable way. I am so glad I have this book!

Not bad, but I have read better... December 26, 2008
(Rating should be three and a half (3 1/2) stars.)br /br /I brought this book after reading Reposition Yourself: Living Life Without Limits, which I really enjoyed. This book was good, but I think that Reposition Yourself was better. I found that Before You Do had a lot of material on love, marriage, and divorce. I found myself skimming/skipping over chapters because they really didn't pertain to me. It's a great book if you have issues with relationships and have some doubts. The one chapter Before You Get Engaged had good questions that I think can be asked whenever someone enters a relationship with a partner--not just when engagement comes up. I also like that fact that it talks about the stages that you should go thru before you make the decision and having a vision.

Awesome Buy December 22, 2008
This was a great buy. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone that's not only thinking of getting married, but those that are already married.

A Must Read Before You Do December 21, 2008
I find this book to be once again an excellent handbook on how to navigate in life. I am not married but I find this information very helpful before I have to make a decision down the road. Bishop Jakes always manages to provide information that I need. I realize that I don't know everything and I am thankful that he is willing to be transparent so that I don't make mistakes that can take years to fix.br /br /Get this book for anyone who needs help but you know that they are too proud to ask.
