A Garden Wedding for His Son

This book takes a deep dive into the Old Testament and New Testament's use and development of the Wedding Metaphor in Scripture. The book develops the importance of the Wedding Metaphor in understanding the heart and character of God Himself. Additionally, we learn some amazing aspects of the plans and purposes of God regarding the Creation from beginning to the end of time. The Wedding Metaphor also supplies a new perspective on understanding the actions of God regarding the life and death of Jesus. This includes some insightful and helpful new understandings of the meaning of the cross (the atonement). Most importantly the book develops a clear view of God's intentions to re-create the Shalom of the Garden of Eden environment in the New Creation to come.

The author is a recently retired physician who had been involved in Missionary Medicine and practiced Emergency Medicine for most of his career in the US. Before becoming a Christian, he was a Flight Instructor, Charter Pilot and then a Corporate Pilot/Bookkeeper in California. His conversion came from his last full-time flying job for a California company owned and run by a family of Christians. They provided an amazing opportunity for him to attend Biola College part time while still flying. His conversion occurred during his first partial semester at Biola and led to a dramatic change in his life and his life circumstances.
