 Other American Christian authors , such as Mark Matlock and Jason Evert , wrote highly of When God Writes Your Love Story . Leah Andrews of the Lewiston Morning Tribune compared When God Writes Your Love Story to other popular Christian books providing alternatives to dating , including Joshua Harris 's I Kissed Dating Goodbye and Boy Meets Girl . Eastern University Christian studies professors Margaret and Dwight Peterson responded to the Ludys ' book by writing an essay called " God Does Not Want to Write Your Love Story , " in which the Petersons argue that the book makes young people see marriage as a fantasy comparable to that of Disney Princesses , and that this fantasy often results in disappointment . Rick Holland , an instructor at The Master 's College and Seminary and pastor of College and Student Ministries at Grace Community Church , criticized the Ludys ' description of dating , claiming it was based too much on anecdotes and not enough on the Bible .
