Book Description
Reinhold Ebertin's first edition of this book was revised and updated in 1974 and contains a treasure of information on comparative charts for marriage. This detailed textbook presents numerous examples of the relationship between the cosmos, man and marital compatibility. Keys are given on how to recognize whether a cosmic marriage will develop harmoniously or not. Rules of comparative analysis and significant aspects include the Ascendant, Midheaven and Moon's Node. Most of the examples are given using the traditional delineation of chart connections, however midpoints and the use of Ebertin's 90 degree wheel in Cosmobiology are given as well.

Book Description
Marriage, across cultures, is often defined as a union between consenting adults that lasts for the life of the partners. But is marriage a blessing, or curse? Does marriage represent the union of two hearts, or was it a necessary evil? Did matrimony bring a person a helpmeet for life, or was it a societally approved state entered into to improve one's social standing and produce legitimate heirs? The authors of this volume show that the peoples of the ancient Mediterranean were divided on all of these questions, and reveal ancient Greek and Roman opinions on marriage that were as varied and complex as they are today. Readers will discover in this book that ancients juggled multiple ideas that to the modern eye may appear to be contradictory. Thus, for example, Greek and Roman wives were expected to come to their grooms spotless virgins, while Greek and Roman husbands could enjoy multiple partnerships outside the marital union. Guided by our experts, we take an extensive journey through time and space, encountering evidence from such sources as diverse as Hammurabic law codes, Egyptian papyri, Greek epic and tragedy, Roman inscriptions and writings on the lives of early Christians. Applying innovative approaches and diverse methodologies, the authors of this volume reveal the tension and reconciliation between representations of marriage in antiquity and its lived reality. A Cultural History of Marriage in Antiquity presents an overview of the period with essays on Courtship and Ritual; Religion, State and Law; Kinship and Social Networks; the Family Economy; Love and Sex; the Breaking of Vows; and Representations of Marriage.

Book Description
Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

Book Description
The Transcendent One brings a new revelation to all who are created in the image, the Consciousness of God. It brings to Light the seemingly hidden things of darkness. It brings to Light the mystery of what one is within the Consciousness of God, the All in All of Being. The spirit and the letter of the Word are presented here as two parts of the same thing, preparing one for the reconciliation of all things through the Christ Self unto the All in All of Being, the Transcendent One. The Transcendent One brings the many and the one unto the reconciliation. The Transcendent One is revealed to be an infinity of many within the One. No matter where one might go, the Transcendent One is already there, for It is everywhere It is, and everywhere It is not as two parts of the same thing. It is neither here not there as separate places, for It is here, there, everywhere, and nowhere as parts of the same thing. The new revelation is the revelation of what you are, have been, and forever shall be, the same today, yesterday, and forever within the Consciousness of God.
