Opis

You will find here a unique perspective on a vital topic, long-debated: intimacy between lovers. The author deals with the subject of intimacy in a "Reality vs. Religious tradition" perspective, acknowledging the need for intimacy engrained in all of us by our Creator. Even in old age, the author proclaims through personal experience, people need intimacy with a loved one, in harmony with the purposes of our Father God.He discusses our need, created by God, for intimacy and how it continues even while entering retirement age. He seeks to dash unhealthy prejudices on this subject and establish a healthy concept readers will be challenged to explore.There are many strong comparisons throughout the book between what the Bible relates about intimacy with others, and how society views intimacy. These explorations of study create food for thought on common misunderstandings about intimacy and how a healthy intimate relationship fosters good health.The book is designed especially for people past child rearing age, mature individuals. The author describes how love can be viewed differently between young and old. He gives examples in each chapter to clarify his points about intimacy for older people.This book will disrupt traditional thinking for those whose view of the Bible is rote and literalistic. It delves into our need to view the Bible as the living pathway to an understanding that the Word of God connects us intimately with the God of Word, who wants us to be healthy and vibrant in all areas of life.
