With the removal of sexual orientation as a bar to ordination in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), pending approval of a majority of presbyteries, and the Episcopal Church’s 2009 General Convention calling for the development of theological and liturgical resources for same-sex blessings, sexual orientation—especially with regard to marriage—is a central issue. Secularly, too, the topic is front-page news with the recent California same-gender marriage ruling and subsequent Proposition 8 vote and the update of the Massachusetts same-gender marriage law. This book sets forth the case for religious institutions’ blessing of same-gender marriage, positing that same-gender marriage does not detract from the sacredness of heterosexual marriage, but rather enhances and nourishes the institution. Chapters include: • Claiming the Blessing • Deeper Than Scripture • Traditional Family Values • The Sacred Source of Marriage • Sex and the Body of Christ • Marriage As a Spiritual Discipline “Marriage is a spiritual discipline in which we come to know ourselves as beloved, trustworthy, redeemed, forgiven, and blessed, and at the same time learn how to love, be faithful, redeem, forgive, and bless the partner as well as the community.” —Chris Glaser

After hitting rock bottom while escaping domestic abuse, Janet’s inner voice told her to start writing. As she wrote, she gained clarity and strength, and felt an incredible connection to the divine.

People everywhere are looking for a higher perspective on love than the popular view of romance. Loving from Your Soul - Creating Powerful Relationships," an inspiring and unusual book by Shepherd Hoodwin, goes to the core of the issue by exploring the nature of love itself. It is a collection of discourses and counseling Hoodwin channeled from the Michael entity that views love as an eternal reality not dependent on other people or situations - it is something we can learn to access all the time through connecting directly with our soul. Michael is well-known to readers of metaphysical books. There are several Michael books in print, from the work of various channels, and most of them deal with a technical body of information called the Michael teachings. However, Loving from Your Soul is not a technical book. It deals with topics such as sexuality, anger, body image, loneliness, boundaries, listening, friendship, finding a mate, and alternative lifestyles. These subjects are framed within a larger context of explorations such as "Loving Yourself," "Being at Your Source," "Different Ways of Loving," "Oneness," "Communicating Your Whole Being," and "Expanding Love." According to Loving from Your Soul, "Love is a unified experience that does not cut off any portion of your reality. When you are loving yourself, you are loving others. When you are loving others, you are loving yourself. When you are having joy in what you are doing, you are giving joy to the world - there is no separation between you and the world." "What does it mean to love and to be loved? People everywhere are seeking a higher perspective than the popular view of romance. This outstanding book goes to the core of the issue by illuminating the nature of love itself as a reality that is always available. Topics include sexuality, anger, body image, loneliness, boundaries, listening, and finding a mate, framed within a larger context. With vibrant clarity, it will have a resounding impact on the way we look at love from now on." -Sheila Andersen, Leading Edge Review "This book positively radiates love.
