This book has and is changing my life!!! The text spells out the epitome of a successful and godly relationship and how to go about every season of your romantic life. I have watched all of the breakaway podcasts but still love reading through the book. It is filled with much needed truth and perspective for young adults navigating life in the modern age. Ben Stuart is familiar with the age group of his audience and caters specifically to our needs and struggles. I love how Ben not only recognizes the anxieties and struggles faced by modern dating, but he also speaks to the root of the issue and the need to get a relationship with God right before anyone can get a romantic relationship right. If everyone read this book the world would be filled with a lot more joy and a lot less heartbreak and regret.Thanks and gig'em!!!

As a millennial who followed the bad advice the world spits out for many years, I had no clue how to navigate relationships in a health way. After reaching a point in my faith where I felt I was ready to date again, Ben Stuart was giving a sermon at our young adult ministry in Dallas (Watermark: The Porch). His message was entertaining (not amusing) and more relate-able than any advice I'd heard about dating. Shortly after this message, Single, Dating, Engaged, Married (which his sermon was based on) was released for sale. I started reading it and coincidentally started dating a young woman who was reading the book as well. 9 months after our first date, she said yes when I was on my knee. Now, will this book guarantee you a wife or husband? NO. But when the invaluable wisdom expressed in this book is applied to real Christian relationships, its effects can be profound and fruitful for that couple. I have received numerous compliments that my fiance and I have been an ideal image of what Christian dating should be. I know that statement isn't true because we fall short of God's glory, but it is a testament to the successes of this book in our lives nonetheless. Praise God for Ben Stuart's ministry, it's exactly what my generation needs.

Ben Stuart knows how to relate to the college-aged generation and everyone in between. I've been listening to his podcasts from Texas A&M when he was the pastor at Breakaway Ministries, and when I heard he wrote SDEM, I immediately rushed to preorder his book. I am currently in the dating phase and this book has shown me what's truly important about each step in the delicate process of moving forward in a relationship.Thank you so much Ben for speaking out and helping young adults and beyond. God has used your words to change my life, and I believe He will continue to do so through this book as it brings light to the darkness, or maybe, more importantly, the gray areas of dating.

I shied away from books about relationships until I started attending Passion City Church and a friend recommended this to me after a breakup. This book will change your perspective and for the better. I wish this book was around for my generation instead of Kiss Dating Goodbye. Oh how different things would have been if this generation read Single, Dating, Engaged, Married. Please read! No matter what stage of life you are in, you will benefit from this book.

This is a great book for anyone, male or female, single, engaged, or married from teenager to old-ager. It is a great overview of relationships and friendships. The author conveys a very open minded but principled viewpoint based on his personal experiences working with young adults as a pastor and leader. I am 68 years old. I have advanced education and diverse life experiences. To me, this book points out areas that I have not considered and corrects my misguided thinking in many areas regarding family life, romance, and relationships. This book is life changing to those who want a successful life.

This book talks about how to prevent heart break and soul ties. It uses biblical examples to caution couples to avoid making mistake of sex before marriage. In addition, waiting is a beautiful and power connection, the way God intended. Even if you already had sex before marriage, God is always faithful and will not condemn you once you trust him to lead your marriage. Forgiveness is key, accept it and forgive yourself and move on.

Straightforward and Insightful. Ben speaks from his heart. He writes with candor and wisdom and sets a hopeful tone for success in the often complicated and confusing area of personal relationships. Ben is honest and empathetic to the plight of those struggling in the dating scene. He speaks to the purpose of singleness and encourages us to embrace it with a fresh perspective. And he walks us through the journeys of dating, engagement, and marriage with solid Biblical guidelines. Filled with warmth and grace, this book is going to change how you look at yourself and your relationships.

What I love about Ben's book is that he doesn't tell you how to be content and get a date and how not to be sinful in engagement/marriage. Those sorts of practices are centered on achieving a byproduct. A byproduct is not just a result but a result that comes about because of something else. Ben's focus is on how a Christian can pursue a faithful life while in these stages and trust God with the byproducts of healthy Christian singleness, dating, etc. Certainly Ben taking this angle can lead the readers into byproducts like contentment, wise dating practices, etc, but that isn't his focus or aim. Ben's focus is that Christians should seek to know God and make God known and that will mean certain things for singleness, Dating, etc. Every bit of advice he offers is soaked in that focus; love God and love your neighbor.

Review

“Farewell, Fred Voodoo showcases all [Wilentz’s] formidable gifts as a reporter: her love of, and intimate familiarity with, Haiti; her sense of historical perspective; and her eye for the revealing detail. Like Joan Didion and V. S. Naipaul, she has an ability not only to provide a visceral, physical feel for a place, but also to communicate an existential sense of what it’s like to be there as a journalist with a very specific and sometimes highly subjective relationship with her subject.” (Michiko Kakutani The New York Times)“Excellent and illuminating….a love letter to—and a lament for—Haiti, a country with an already strange and tortured history that became even more tragic, interesting and convoluted in the months after the earthquake…. [Wilentz] brings to Haiti empathy and her great skills as a narrator….it's Wilentz's honesty about her own role in Haiti and that of so many other American visitors to that country that ultimately distinguishes her book most from other works that cover similar terrain.” (Los Angeles Times)"A veteran journalist captures the functioning chaos of Haiti. ... An extraordinarily frank cultural study/memoir that eschews platitudes of both tragedy and hope." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)“Farewell, Fred Voodoo is engrossing and gorgeous and funny, a meticulously reported story of love for a maddening place. Wilentz’s writing is so lyrical it’s like hearing a song – in this case, the magical, confounding, sad song of Haiti.” (Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief and Rin Tin Tin)“Farewell, Fred Voodoo is written with authority and great affection for Haiti and Haitians and for those who are trying to help them. An informative and wonderful piece of writing, it is a work of considerable artistry, immensely evocative. I read it with pleasure and with mounting gratitude.” (Tracy Kidder, author of Mountains Beyond Mountains)“Amy Wilentz is a brilliant writer, an ace journalist and, perhaps most important, she is not an outsider. She's the perfect guide through the heartbreak and beauty of post-earthquake Haiti. I was gripped by her respectful and first-hand reporting on Voodoo, and impressed by her enormous sensitivity to the crushing deprivation most Haitians endure.” (Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed)“Amy Wilentz knows Haiti deeply: its language, its tragic history, the foibles of her fellow Americans who often miss the story there. This makes her a wise, wry, indispensable guide to a country whose fate has long been so interwoven with our own.” (Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold’s Ghost)“I can't imagine there's a better book about Haiti—a smarter, more thoughtful, tough-minded, romantic, plainspoken, intimate, well-reported book. Amy Wilentz has paid exceptionally close attention to this dreamy, nightmarish place for a quarter century, and with Farewell, Fred Voodoo she turns all that careful watching and thinking into a riveting work of nonfiction literature.” (Kurt Andersen, author of Heyday and True Believers)

I read this in the midst of my 3rd visit to Haiti, as part of "my" 3rd medical mission with a team of 15 volunteers. Ms Willentz writes with wit and crisp narrative to describe the ironies of global assistance to Haiti. I'm back from my 5th trip to Haiti - and recommend this as valuable perspective on what may or may not get accomplished in a 'challenging' country like Haiti - or specifically to prepare for the non-linear world of working in Haiti.We were at the Guest House of Hopital St Croix in Leogane, epicenter of the earthquake, which is run by dedicated volunteer managers who host teams like ours doing mobile medical clinics out in the villages - or school projects etc. Then - manager, notre ami Robin of TX noted me reading the book, expressed interest because she'd heard of it - so I was glad to present it to her when I finished its gripping pages. Valuable perspective - bravo!

After spending some time in Haiti during the time of Baby Doc, I was looking forward to reading Amy Wilentz's latest book about that beautiful and troubled island. I did not disappoint. Her love and hope for Haiti and its people shine through every page. Well done. I highly recommend it to anybody who is interested in Haiti, its past, present, and future.

Like most of the Western World there is a mentality of ‘out of sight out of mind.’ Wilentz makes Haiti very much insight, in mind. It shares the personal accounts of Haitian culture, missionary workers, Doctors without Boarders, and the reporter who brings it all to us. It made Haiti hit home by pulling on the heartstrings of the innocent Haitian children victims to their surroundings. It merged the gap with the fables we tell kids to teach them a lesson and keep them safe; only instead of Snow White they had werewolves and voodoo. It made me respect those that give their life for a cause with solutions so far out of reach—yet they jump in. Great read with a blend of culture and humanity.

Accessible and engaging as both narrative of post earthquake Haiti and a summation of the author's 20 year history of traveling and writing on the country. The main crux of the book is that aid is not working as its delivered via NGO's and large development entities such as , IOM and USAID as it is inefficiently rendered and does not take include the Haitian people in the decision process. We meet a variety of characters both Haitian and "blan", foreign in Haiti and Haitian and there is a positive example of aid done right in the person of Dr. Megan Coffee who runs a TB word in Port au Prince. The section where she debunks the myth of the "planting the magical tree" that will save Haiti is funny but also succinctly captures the problem of outsiders coming to Haiti and offering solutions without considering the need, wants, or culture of the people they want to help. The book is a bit scattershot, and occasionally over the top but has some great information and insights and is both entertaining and emotional. My favorite leitmotif is about Haitian history and politics in relations to the use of voodoo.

Very well written, based on personal experience, knowledgeable author. This book contrasts with her prior one which was much more optimistic. One of the necessary reads to begin to understand Haiti.

This was recommended by a friend who has just published her first book. She said this book is one of her favorites and she displayed it when shewas at a local book store. The author spent a lot of time in Haiti and the book reflects both her connection with the people she has met in Haiti and her concern for them.

Amy Wilentz' "The Rainy Season" was my go-to book for an inside view of Haiti for over twenty years - one that I read three times or more, and that put so many questions in my head as history watched Aristide come to power, then be disappeared, then become President again, then not. And then the earthquake came, with all of its seemingly Biblical import for this continuously unfolding story about the nation we have been taught from an early age carries the tag line "Poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere." And wouldn't you know, perhaps when we are most looking for the proper context to review all of the events from the fall of Baby Doc through its retreat from the world media "disaster" stage, Amy Wilentz comes forth with this miracle of a book, a very personal journey that also happens to bring an unblinking eye to this new (and yet same old) Haiti. It grabs you from the first page, and manages to put 250 of incredibly complex history (especially as a proxy state of the USA) into images and reams of connective tissue that allows the whole story to make sense. Along the way, you get inside the experiences of celebrities like Sean Penn and heroes like Dr. Megan Coffee, each of whom manages to find their way through the Byzantine Haitian cultural and political roadblocks to force real change. On the one hand caustic and jaded, and on the other generous and full of innocent surprise, Wilentz is peerless is capturing this nation in the throes of the ultimate disaster, the outside forces that flooded its borders with help, and how it is the ultimate crucible for assessing the reach and limitations of charitable aid. If you read it once, you will want to read it again. And probably right away.

This book starts in a helicopter flight over a huge fortress that propelled Haiti out of a slave colony. I learned about Haiti's history along with the somewhat unhealthy relationships between the Haitians and the post earthquake aid organizations. Amy Wilentz gives the reader a fascinating look at our neighbor to the South.
