About the Authors

Rick and Sharon Phillips met at a church singles group and were married twenty months later. After answering God’s call to enter the ministry, Rick served as the pastor to the singles ministry in which they had met. Through their shared ministry to singles, they perceived a great need for clear biblical teaching on dating and singleness. The fruit of their ministry and of their love for singles is found in the pages of this book. They are the parents of five children and live in the upcountry of South Carolina, where Rick is senior minister of Second Presbyterian Church of Greenville, SC. He is co-editor of the Reformed Expository Commentary series and author of numerous books on the Bible and Christian living, several of which feature discussion questions written by Sharon.
