Ancient Wisdom for Modern Christian Families. * Drawn from the timeless sermons of St. John Chrysostom, this collection offers profound insight into the divine purpose of marriage, love, and parenting.

It also makes a meaningful gift for weddings, anniversaries, or ministry use. * * Key Topics Covered: * * Why God instituted marriage * * Sexual intimacy and holiness * * Mutual responsibilities of husband and wife * * Parenting with purpose * * The connection between Christian love and spiritual growth * * This edition features the original text alongside English translation (Greek/English), making it ideal for both devotional readers and academic study.
