Infatuated with Infatuation (Chapters 3-4)

Hey there! 👋

We’re a group of Gen Z’ers who started a Christian book club to make friends and explore faith, life, and great reads together. We meet on Friday nights.

In The Sacred Search, Gary Thomas challenges us to think beyond finding a "soul mate" and to look for a "sole mate"--someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey. Turning conventional dating wisdom upside-down, Thomas asks: What if there’s no such thing as "the one"--there's something even better in God's plan? What if being "in love" isn't a good enough reason to get married?

The Sacred Search casts a vision for building a relationship around a shared spiritual mission--and making a marriage with eternity at its heart. Join us on Friday as our Crossroads group explores how dating should be a spiritual journey rather than an emotional pursuit, as we challenge cultural assumptions about romance with biblical discernment.

📖 When: 7:00 PM, Friday, April 10
📍 Where: Barnes & Noble in Vernon Hills
