Summary: Simple, Inspiring, and Powerful
Review: Dr. Ayers has put together a wonderful work relating the Christian experience to a courtship and marriage. His writing and ideas are in harmony with Scripture and every principle found in this book, traces its origin back to the Bible. In this presentation, the author has reduced the spiritual passion that all believers were created to enjoy into simple illustrations. Readers of all ages and levels of spiritual maturity will understand and comprehend what is being offered and the result will be lives expressing the passionate power afforded by an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, the groom.

Summary: Great Use of Christian Symbolism
Review: The author takes us through the pathway of becoming passionate with Jesus, personally and as a corporate church body. The book is divided into eight chapters with titles such as 'Flirting', 'Marriage', and 'Pleasure'. He uses the Christian symbol of the Church as the bride of Jesus and provides many personal and professional experiences to illustrate the meaning of living a passionate Christian life. It is primarily written as a resource for the clergy but as a layman I found it to be a wonderful guide to building a relationship with Jesus. The author effectively speaks to the reader in a way that shows his humanity. He seems to say, "I'm just like you" instead of "Here's why I'm better." This is a timely book for the church in the 21st century.
