The Parables are indeed a good way to know Jesus on a more personal level! By doing more than just reading them (STUDYING THEM) you can learn the thoughts that were close to His heart. You can become more familiar with the things He thought were important. You can realize that He not only expects you to walk in God's will, but you will learn that He has told you how to do that! He never expected you to live to a certain standard without telling you how to accomplish it! All we have to do is study His word! It is His promise that "all things are possible..." even walking in His will!

Sacred Unions is a book about true love. By true love—or romance—the author refers to sexual passion that deepens into the permanent union of two persons in heart, body, and mind. The book is therefore addressed to all true lovers: straight or gay, deep into the adventure of a shared life or just contemplating it, or emerging out of a failed attempt. Lifelong union, Breidenthal asserts, is of central importance in all circumstances; and it remains a viable option for all of us, no matter who we are or what our story is.
