Other American Christian authors, such as Mark Matlock and Jason Evert, wrote highly of When God Writes Your Love Story. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. The first edition was packaged with a CD single by the Ludys: 'Faithfully', a song they had written specifically to accompany the book. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009.
