Are you tired of dating that leaves you confused, hurt, or wondering if you’re even on the right path?

There is a better way—and it begins with God.

Too many Christians desire marriage but feel lost in the modern dating world—unsure of what to look for, how to stay pure, or how to discern God’s will in a relationship. With culture screaming one thing and Scripture teaching another, singles everywhere are longing for clarity, confidence, and direction.

7 Keys to Finding the Right One is a faith-filled, practical, and deeply biblical roadmap to dating with purpose. Drawing from years of ministry experience, real conversations, biblical exegesis, and raw honesty, Mike and Chenelle Patterson guide you step-by-step through the spiritual, emotional, and relational skills needed to find a godly partner—and become one.

This is more than a dating book.
It’s a transformational journey toward emotional maturity, spiritual leadership, purity, discernment, and God-centered love.
