About this listen
In this delightfully witty and uplifting book, 30-something Lauren Windle shines a light on the trials and tribulations - and sometimes also the triumphs - of the world of Christian dating.
This is not a how-to guide. Like having a coffee with your mates while you pore over your profile matches, heartbreaks, and hilarious mishaps, Notes on Love draws on Lauren's own experiences of being single and dating in the church to offer a funny, insightful, and open-hearted collection of musings on the absurdity, messiness, pain, and joy of it all.
With notes on "How to Handle a First Date", "A Million Ways to Meet People", "Disappointment", and "Schrodinger’s Boyfriend", as well as looking at how you can find true love with yourself, your friends, and family and above all in Christ, Notes on Love is a thought-provoking exploration of Christian relationships in the church today.
This is a book for anyone who has struggled with dating in church or who has asked themselves how to be single as a Christian only to discover there’s no right answer. Warm, generous, and honest, Notes on Love is an invitation to laugh, cry, and know that whether you are male or female, single, coupled up, or somewhere in between, you are not alone.

Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives - they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

Written during a long wait, this book opens up Cheryl's painfully honest, personal journals. She explores what it's like to enlist in God's Marriage Boot Camp, and how to survive singlehood year after solitary year. She wrestles with her Creator over multiple best friends that never see her "that way." Then there are those lists of what she wanted - you know, the ones she revised a billion times then laminated for safekeeping. She watches, bewildered, as much younger women find love that seems to elude her.

I go through most days feeling broken and having thoughts of suicide. So, here's my book to you. I didn't write it to make a lot of money, but out of a need to survive, and to hopefully help others who hear it. It is born out of my story of living with a mental illness. I write about things in this book that made life easier, and at times, probably kept me alive.

Part autobiography, part road map for finding true love and the life you’ve always wanted, Why Waiting Works offers practical advice to avoid the common pitfalls made by many when it comes to sex and dating. It is a "how to" for doing relationships in a different way, deconstructing the myths and misconceptions associated with the often misunderstood but vital to understand subject. It uncovers the timeless principle of delayed gratification to get what we want most instead of just what we want right now - in every area of our lives.

Face it, your attitudes about marriage and the path to marriage are probably wrong. Some you've inherited, some you've simply bought - hook, line, and sinker - and some you've made up yourself. They have translated into bad action (or no action) in dating and relationships. But it's not too late; you can break the cycle of dating dysfunction and learn to honor marriage, marry well, and live intentionally while you wait.

Relevant to both married and single
The content of the book and stories of the author are so relevant to my daily life. The vulnerability of the author is evident, and everyone will be able to resonate with something in this book. The advice and thoughts are counter cultural and made me think twice about what I have accepted as normal in my daily life.
If you are reading this because you are contemplating on whether to give the book a go or not, I want to urge you to do it, you won’t regret it.
