The Bible is full of self-proclaimed mysteries. While most mysteries are clearly resolved through in the written word of God, others will only be completely brought to light when we step into eternity. The mystery of the relationship between Christ and His local churches is a perfect example.This book uses a lot of Scripture to bring to sharp focus what modern christendom has made nebulous, or fuzzy. Dr. McCandless takes an honest look at the Hebrew cultural wedding traditions and sheds much light on this mystery. If you are a student of Scripture who holds that the work of the Lord is to be accomplished through His New Testament churches, put this book on your "Must Read list".
