Sisters, Oregon (May, 2005) - Multnomah Publishers announced today the national number one bestseller, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, by Joshua Harris, has exceeded sales of 1 million copies last month. The popular benchmark book for Christian singles has been on the ECPA Bestseller List since 1998, and was first released eight years ago this month.
Multnomah has since published additional ancillary products including an audio recording, study guide, and video series for I Kissed Dating Goodbye, and launched an updated version of the book in 2003. The book has also been translated into over fifteen languages and been a bestseller in countries like Germany and Korea.
I Kissed Dating Goodbye, with its call for sincere love, real purity, and purposeful singleness, remains the book which all others are compared to on Christian dating and courtship. It challenges cultural assumptions about relationships and provides solid, biblical alternatives.
"The book points out the problems with today's recreational romance," Harris says, "but what I've heard most from readers is that ultimately dating isn't the point-the book is about who God is and what it means to trust him with our love lives. And I think that's what has helped people the most."
"Who would have thought that a twenty-one-year-old kid-sorry, Josh-would write a book that would eventually sell a million copies-and counting? The response to Josh's book reflects the desire of his generation to not be counted among the casualties of the relationally damaged and want nothing to interfere with their relationship to God," says Don Jacobson, Multnomah president and publisher.
Joshua Harris has also authored, Boy Meets Girl, Sex Is Not the Problem (Lust Is), and Stop Dating the Church.
