    Case for Faith for Chinese Speakers

    Hi, I have been wanting to know for awhile if there is a translation of Lee Strobels's Case for Faith?

    Relationship Pacing

    Of course everyone is different. But I agree with the poster who said, if marriage is far from the horizon, go slowly.

    Protestant Girl Likes Catholic Guy

    This is me from the 'Girls Asks Boy Out' thread.. I would say...as the subject suggests..that him being Catholic is part of my confusion.. I have asked him a few times before about his walk with God but he doesn't really understand that cuz I think a lot of Catholics don't really view...
