Romance: The Voice of Experience

Below is an excerpt from a forthcoming Crossway Book, Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart. The author, John Ensor, has established pregnancy crisis centers in the Boston area and Florida. His work has provided him ample opportunity to observe romance gone wrong, and from that experience he offers these words to young men:

It is ours as men to suffer the embarrassment of rejection if need be. It is our role to initiate. It is hers to respond with a signal of reception or rejection. Get to it right merrily. We are the hunters. They are the quarry. It is for men to strike out into the forest and look. It is for women to crack the twigs and stir the leaves so we know where to find them.

The book will be available this spring at Crossway.com.
