The Story of Adam and His Bride




I have been reading Peter Hiett's new book, "God and His Sexy Body" It's a sermonic look at Genesis chapter two which is the second book in a three book series on Genesis 1-3.  HIs first book was "The History of Time and the Genesis of You."  In this new book which is a fresh look at Genesis 2, Hiett wants people to see Jesus as the great bridegroom and the church as God's beautiful bride which is immersed in mutual surrendered love.

This book has some great anedotes throughout like "Don't be afraid to be empty because you'll always be filled."  "The missing link is not the survival of the fittest but the sacrifice of the fittest."  Here is one of my favorites: 

When one person forgives, it looks like the cross.
When two people forgive, it looks like marriage.
When everyone forgives, it looks like the body of Christ (the church)
