Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJoshua Harris, author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye, announced his divorce. And no longer a Christian!
He wrote the book in the 90s. It was the major impetus for the 'purity culture' movement that has done so much damage in Evangelical churches.
He also stated he was very wrong when he condemned homosexuality and asks for forgiveness.
These 2 statements have rocked the fundamentalist/evangelical world. Many are attacking him for his 'betrayal of God'.
