"I Kissed Dating Goodbye" sold about 1.2 million copies.

I've been told by those in the know - that's about $2M.

A best seller about 20 years ago, when Josh Harris was 21 years old.

Now he's about 40 - and just apostatized.

Prediction: He’ll be in a same-sex relationship by Christmas if he isn’t already.

He may have to pawn his old purity rings to pay the divorce lawyer.

When I read the name, 'Josh Harris' this is the guy that came to mind.

Who the heck is Joshua Harris and why should anyone care what he does?

Carl Trueman, as usual, has useful things to say: Kissing Christianity Goodbye.
...

And this brings me back to Harris. It is sad that his marriage is at an end. It is sad that he has abandoned the faith. He alone must take final responsibility for his actions. But he was also the product of, and a major player in, a wider movement that is proving increasingly problematic. As a product, he was exploited by those who saw in him a marketing opportunity and consequently gave him far too much exposure and responsibility far too soon. He was used. I wonder if any of the leading YRR lights have spent a moment reflecting about whether they and the culture they created bear any responsibility for this mess. Or is Harris’s apostasy merely another of those Satanic attacks that confirm that they are on the right track and must press on?

As a player, Harris might be qualified to do the evangelical church one last favor: He can expose the behind-the-scenes shenanigans—the money made by at least some of the leading lights, and the power wielded by an unaccountable few—of Big Evangelicalism. That would seem a more important contribution than emotive talk of personal journeys, gobbledygook about repentance detached from any notion of God, and the continuation of life as performance art.

Ping to a couple other saints.

Another false prophet. Is it he size of the ministry that determines how corrupt it becomes? (I have no answer)
