The Chase: Trusting God with Your Happily Ever After

This book is solidly built on the Word of God (there is a lot of scripture to back up what they say), but keep in mind some of the writing is their opinion, which is alright because it's their book. For those that have written that the book is "unpopular" or not up with "modern times"; I believe this is inaccurate. It is biblical that men should be the head of the home/spiritual leader (read Ephesians chapter 5 & 1 Peter 3:7). Men should be the ones to step-up and make that first move because that will prepare them for leading a family someday (God really does work in mysterious ways). I agree with Kyle that that allowed him to really grow and mature as he was pursuing Kelsey. This helped to make him the man that he is today. I think for reviewers that have said that this is "inaccurate" or "unbiblical" have let the world conform their thoughts on dating; women need to be empowered and strong and equal to men and need to make the first move. Whatever happened to letting the man lead like Kyle writes in the book? Some women still appreciate men who will be the leader. Now ladies, don't get your panties in a wad, if you are the go-getter type and are not afraid to make that first move, good for you! Some men need the help. I personally am more traditional and would like to see the man make the first move. I believe that if he is walking with God that he will have that confidence to make that first move because he will be praying about it. I look at my parents who have been married 40 years and my grandparents who have been married 61 years (both men made the first move). Yes, God can have that one person out there for you. I believe that both my parents and my grandparents are together because that's who God had for them. To write that you should not read this book because of that is not fair. They write clearly on the back-cover what the book is about, if you had any qualms with that then don't read the book.With that being said, in my opinion, this book should be read by older teen girls and girls in college. Some of the stories are not age appropriate for younger girls (but go along with biblical points they are speaking on). Although, as parents with teens living at home, you have the choice as to whether or not your kid reads this. If I were a parent, I would let my senior in high school read this, but I also think it would depend on her and how I think she could handle the book. Kyle never calls anyone in the book a slut or a skank (those words aren't even written). Like I wrote above, some of the stories are not appropriate for younger teens. I highly suggest that parents read the book first so they can decide if it's right for their kid.Also, Kyle did make a reference to his music and how it helped a girl in her time of need. But come on. That was not a "plug" to his music. I'm pretty sure that anyone buying this book knows who these people are and what they do for a living, that's why you bought the book. So no, that was not him trying to get people to listen to his music, in my opinion. And so what if it is? More girls need to listen to uplifting and encouraging music anyways.Overall, the book had so many take aways. In certain parts, it brought me to tears (not in a bad way, in a way that someone else knows how I am feeling) because it identified the longing that I have for a husband, but it also instilled a sense of hope in me; believe and wait in patient expectation. It's sad that people knock this couple just because they do have a beautiful love story. They have been blessed by God and who are we to tear them down for that?

The Chase is a wonderful book all about trusting God with your happily ever after. As someone who has yet to find mine, this book was a big deal for me. Reading great advice about chasing God, staying away from unhealthy relationships, and always building your guy up were inspiring, and I loved the insight into how guys think. With chapters like “God First”, “The List”, “R-E-S-P-E-C-T”, and “Just Haven’t Met You Yet”, this book really did cover all of the bases, and it was full of examples of how things were done differently and how painful that was for the couples involved. I felt like that gave girls another reason to try their hardest to do things the right way, and I am sure it was super encouraging. Along with all of the great advice and ways to apply it to your life, I really enjoyed getting to learn all about Kyle and Kelsey’s story. They really do have a fairy-tale relationship, and it was super sweet to read about how much they love each other. I know you are not supposed to compare your relationship to anyone else’s, but I hope I have a fairy-tale too someday. They both really chased the Lord leading up to the day they met, and I don’t think their relationship would have worked out so well as it did, if they even started dating at all, if it weren’t for their dedication to Christ. It was inspiring to hear and actual success story, as it made it so much easier to believe that what they were advising was actually doable. And I also just love that they took on the project of writing a book like this. I cannot help but give The Chase all five bookshelves, because it is such a good book for girls, and women, who are waiting for their princes. It is sure to strengthen their relationships with the Lord, inspire them to wait until the right man chases them, and show them how to go about having a Christ-filled relationship with the man of their dreams. I applaud Kyle and Kelsey for a job well done, and cannot wait to see what the future holds for the both of them, especially when it comes to their ministry!I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.(This review is from my blog, spreadinghisgrace.blogspot.com)

I couldn't have asked for a better book for young ladies! Kyle and Kelsey Kupecky share real life (their lives) stories with readers to encourage them to CHASE after God first and not man. This book is truthfully and beautifully written in a way thats easy to understand and relate to. I am encouraged and motivated after reading this book to not be focused on my future spouse but instead on God. He already has a plan for my life and I (and all of us young ladies) need to trust him with whatever he has in store for us for our futures. I highly recommend this book to all young ladies out there. Single, dating, attached, married; I believe this book will touch you all in different ways. If I could give this book more than 5/5, I would but alas! :)

I loved this book! I read it in preparation for talking to my teen daughter about dating. We've given godly guidelines, but I know she'll receive this with even more authority and clarity on the subject.I only wish it would have been around when I was a youth...would have saved me wasting my time. :)

An excellent read

I really loved the book and their experiences shared were so beautifully . Thank you so much Kelsey and Kyle. God bless you both ☺️❤️❣️

Praise God for your story it resonates with my life and I'm still single but loving it because I'm with God and I'm not alone... so encouraging to keep chasing God even when I do get lonely knowing I have the greatest author for my love story. Thank you guys and bless you both. Love you guys

Dieses Buch ist der Hammer! Es hat mir so viel weitergeholfen und mir gezeigt, dass sich das warten auf den richtigen lohnt! Es gibt außerdem gute Tipps und obwohl es auf Englisch ist kann man es sehr gut lesen! Das Englisch ist sehr lesergerecht geschrieben und man braucht keine besonderen Englischkenntnisse dafür. Sehr empfehlenswertes Buch für Mädchen die eine gute Beziehung mit einem Partner und mit Gott leben wollen!:)

A book every young person should read. A wonderful glimpse of what God has in store for each one. The waiting may be difficult but so worth it. Take this opportunity to really rest in His presence and discover the joy that is just around the corner. Guarding your heart is an amazing experience.
