Can't Find a Date - Have You Looked Here?

Consider a new local hang out open in every major city - the Christian Inspiration section at Barnes & Noble.

Have you kissed dating goodbye? You may want to reconsider now that virtually every book in those two rows can be used as a conversation starter.

Want to meet a girl's who is not afraid to reconsider long held orthodox beliefs and do something unpopular with the Evangelical world? Pick "Love Wins" by Rob Bell and see who walks over. The conversation may go something like this:
HER: Oh is that the new book about heaven, hell, universalism, and God's victorious love? Doesn't it seem like he's gone too far and alienated many evangelicals?
YOU: Why yes it is, and yes it seems he has. Would you like to make an unexpected and well, unorthodox decision and join me for dinner tonight? I have a 15% off coupon for Boston Market that expires in a week and was hoping to use it.

Or perhaps you just want to cut to the chase and make a clear statement to a guy. Give "Lady in Waiting - Becoming God's Best While Waiting for Mr. Right" a go.

HIM: Is that book about the long lines in woman's restrooms?
YOU: Oh haha [twirling your hair]. No, actually it's about waiting for Mr. Right and becoming Ms. Right in the meantime. What's your last name by the way?

Okay, let's say none of those work or that's not your cup-of-tea. You'd rather meet someone entirely contradictory and illogical. Grab "100 Ways to Simplify Your Life" off the shelf and see who pops in to your life.
THEM: Hi, I've been watching you from the "Spirituality" section, errr, I mean I just walked up. What book is that?
YOU: Oh it's a book about simplicity. Apparently a simple life is achievable once you do away with everything and practice these 100 principles. Wait, what's that in your hand?
THEM: It's "A Piece of My Mind" by Charlie Sheen.
YOU: Marry Me?

Good luck out there!
