20 DATES & I’M DOOMED: A Hilarious Christian Dating Disaster

by Charlie H. Campbell

Dating was supposed to be fun. So was the Titanic. Caleb thought his love life was a lost cause—until his well-meaning (and slightly relentless) ex-girlfriend convinced him to commit to twenty first dates in search of “the one.” Armed with optimism and a growing sense of doom, he embarks on a journey through apocalyptic preppers, conspiracy theorists, biblical husband interviews, and one highly suspicious emotional support rooster.

But somewhere between the worst blind dates in history, Caleb realizes that maybe love isn’t about chasing something new. Maybe, just maybe . . . it’s about seeing what’s been right in front of him all along.

A laugh-out-loud Christian rom-com packed with wit, romance, and faith, Twenty Dates & I’m Doomed is for anyone who’s ever survived a bad date, questioned their life choices, or wondered if true love might be hiding in plain sight.
