If Brent Barlow was not a PhD, scholar, and BYU professor, his book, An LDS Girl’s Guide to Getting a Date, would still be credible to me simply based on his upbeat voice, succinct advice, and plethora of ideas. An LDS Girl’s Guide to Getting a Date is the perfect book for any young single LDS sister.The “girl” in the title of this book may be misleading, but Barlow actually wrote the book for adult women of marriageable age (i.e. over eighteen). The book’s cute design and light, encouraging style is appealing and inviting. Barlow’s dating formula—Animation, Closeness, and Touch (ACT)—sounds too easy or too problematic, but throughout the book Barlow gives all his advice by teaching sound social and spiritual principles and moderation. He also supports his ideas and instructions with useful quotes from modern prophets and apostles.
An LDS Girl’s Guide to Getting a Date is even more than a guide to getting just one date. Through this book, any single sister can feel like she’s taking Brent Barlow’s marriage preparation class at BYU. Barlow’s book is more like a personal dating coach for any sister looking for Mr. Right.
