The Search for Paradise (e-book) (used book) | Roger Young | bookbook.eu

Description

We are all searching for the perfection of Paradise and no more so than in our relationships, especially those most intimate. This quest has taken author Roger Young to the Song of Songs and a search to discover a true model of love and intimacy. With scholarship that seeks to uncover the meaning of the original words in their language and cultural context, he brings the narrative to life as if it were a drama unfolding in acts and scenes. With his premise that Song of Songs is indeed a love scene between a very devoted couple, various aspects of love and intimacy are exposed against a background of commitment and devotion. They provide a thought provoking and at times confronting reality which challenges both historic and modern concepts of intimacy in love. Some sections contain explicit references. This book is an absolute must read for anyone interested in discovering an authentic and honest approach to intimacy in relationships which moves beyond prudence but reinforces the Biblical ideal of monogamous commitment. It is the author's hope that this volume provides fresh insights to foster communication of these issues between spouses or partners, as well as between parents and their children.
