"Now, it's not necessarily bad to date. It's not necessarily bad to have a boyfriend whom you love with all of your heart. But we always need to ask ourselves, What are we chasing? Who are we chasing? We need to always keep God first in our hearts and in our lives. When we let boys and dating become our number one priority, we wind up feeling confused and empty." -Kelsey Kupecky, The Chase

Kelsey Marie Kingsbury wrote a letter. Her mother had told her that she was worth more than gold and that she deserved a man who would treat her like a queen. So, Kelsey wrote a letter to her future husband. She and her family prayed for a man that would fit Kelsey's list of ideal guy qualities. Kelsey waited. She wanted to try being in a relationship, but didn't want to rush things. Nobody asked her to a high school formal and she was crushed. Relationships didn't work out and she was devastated. She doubted herself and felt lonely. Kelsey spoke to the Lord and was comforted. However, she didn't completely stop doubting - until she met Kyle. Let Kyle and Kelsey Kupecky tell you all about their journey and how to grow a relationship that honors God.
The Chase is excellent for teen girls or young ladies who are waiting for the "one" and getting a little anxious. It is great for girls looking to honor God in their relationship. The Chase is fantastic for young ladies who want to put more trust in God. This book filled with exemplary advice is geared towards the girls of today, but I think that older women could relate as well if the previous sentences apply to them. The Chase is simply for women who are interested in following through with patience, trust, and loyalty to God. This book of two autobiographies is told from two perspectives. Kyle and Kelsey share their stories about dating, how they felt when society would pressure them, what they did in those situations, and what they should have done in those situations. There conflict is due to peer pressure and some due to personal struggles. Group B is copying Group A because A is "cool" or Group B is losing sight of their morals because, according to Group A, morals are overrated. Kyle and Kelsey's stories tie together nicely and although the lessons vary, the flow of the writing isn't compromised. I would recommend this book because I agree with the statements made in this book. Also, the content is real and relatable.
