Together With Christ Book Review

Together With Christ: A Dating Couple’s Devotional is a unique and much needed book. When it comes to Christians dating, there are a plethora of books available that cover everything from relationships between guys and girls, courting, engagement, wedding planning, and marriage. The endless options are overwhelming and discerning which books contain advice that is truly Biblical can be difficult.

I appreciate Together With Christ because it is designed specifically for couples in the dating stage. The book contains 52 devotionals, one for each week of the year. The devotionals are short and focus on various topics that are bound to come up not just in dating, but in any relationship. The author, Chelsea Damon, shares her own personal experiences which I really enjoyed reading.

The way in which Chelsea writes is very relatable which I found to be comforting. Like Chelsea and her husband, my husband and I also had a long distance engagement and found ourselves expecting our first child within the first year of marriage. Chelsea wrote in the intro that her first few years of marriage involved many challenges. I appreciated her transparency in sharing this because I feel it is a reality that often goes ignored.

I love that while the devotional was written to dating couples, it is not exclusively for dating couples. I read the first devotional on communication by myself and was very encouraged as to how I could apply its principles in my marriage. My favorite aspect of Together With Christ is that it is focused on Jesus and becoming more like Him. I’ve read many Christian books on singleness, courtship/dating, and marriage which have been mostly helpful but Together With Christ stands apart because of the unique focus on each person growing in Christlikeness.

Each devotional ends with questions to consider as well as prayer prompts. Since the devotions are short, couples have the opportunity to really pray through what they are learning which is so important. I’m really thankful for Together With Christ and give it my highest recommendation. Regardless of where you are when it comes to romantic relationships, I encourage you to pick up a copy of Together With Christ. I received Together With Christ compliments of Callisto Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
