Have you ever been perplexed about your friendships with boys? Have you ever wondered how to handle a crush or unrequited love as you try to wait for God’s best? Should guys and girls even be friends? As girls desiring to become godly women, we want our interaction with young men to be God-honoring and pure. But in our culture, it’s complicated.
But it doesn’t have to be!
In their new book, It’s (Not That) Complicated, Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin share what makes Guy-Girl Relationships so sticky, and what the Bible has to say on how to navigate our relationships with all young men as a “sister, in all purity” (1 Timothy 5:1-2).
Both of us have found this book to be an Excellent source of clarity, wisdom, challenge and inspiration. We highly recommend it (actually, I don’t think we can recommend it enough) to every young woman who has ever had a question about interaction with boys. It even includes insightful perspectives from 14 young men throughout the book, and two additional appendices for mothers and fathers.

Chapter 8 ~ That’s why you have parents
of course…
Thank you!
Yikes! They ALL sound terrific, but I think, Chapter 4 – “Relationship Boot Camp” sounds best! My daughter turned 18 yesterday and will be off to college next year! Great gift for her! Thank You!!
The chapter I’d most be interested in reading is “Wounding Friend or Kissing Enemy.” I’ve seen this book recently and am excited about the opportunity to get a copy. Thanks!
I liked the book on Facebook.
I shared about the book giveaway on Facebook.
Chapters 8 and 9!
I “Liked” the Its Not Complicated page on FB!
I’m most interested in chapter 8…my role as a parent in helping my daughters with their relationships with the opposite gender!
I would love to read Chapter 4. Relationship Boot Camp.
My daughter is 14 and her choice of chapters to read was “Relationship Boot Camp”, as a sister of 2 brothers I think she is curious if she’s doing a good job there.
Blessings on the journey~

I would love to win a copy of this book. I have two daughters that I am trying to teach to live their lives for Jesus. I also have several young ladies that I would love to share this book with. My most looked forward to chapter would probably be “What a man needs at his side”
Thanks

“What a man needs at this side.”
Like the book’s FB page.
I have a 20 year old daughter in her 2nd year of college. I think chapter 9: The Rules of Engagement would be very helpful. Thanks for the opportunity to get a copy of this book.
The button is on my sidebar!
Ooh, that’s a tough one. I’d have to say Chapter 9 or chapter 12. (I liked the page on FB)
My favorite article is, “But What If” from July 2009.
Well, to be honest, Appendix B since my birth daughter is 11. But I have spiritual daughters I’d love to read the book with, and chapter 3 also appeals to me.
I shared on Facebook.
I’d like to read Relationship Bootcamp.

Being a Christian myself in teenage years and working with teens in college through now I really appreciate the part about emotional purity. The things this world is filled with can so often color what we are expecting out of love.
I would love a resource like this. The chapter on that’s why we have parents caught my eye.
I want to read “What a man needs at his side”.
I think I would be most interested in appendix B. As a new mom to twin daughters, I(with Gods help) want my daughters to not have so many regrets and struggles with how to feel around boys as I do.
I’m interested in reading “Not Another Chapter On Contentment” That’s what I hear a lot of married people talk about…and totally frustrating sometimes. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather
I liked “It’s Not That Complicated” on Facebook.
“boys are people too.” it’s hard for young girls to see boys as something other than “cute” or “funny.” or having nice hair. what does god see? odds are he’s a bit of a lazy wanker who plays too much nintendo. see all the way through, don’t stop short.
they all sound good to me so I asked my DD (13) she likes chapter 2 “We are interested in boys and why thatis a good thing”

The chapter I am looking forward to reading most is “The Heart: Victim or Perpetrator.”
“liked” on FB!!
