Holy Scripture as the book of God's love. Beginning with Adam and Eve, he examines - and this is the particularity - the great biblical marriages (Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Boaz and Ruth, ) as images of the great love between God and his people: Jesus Christ and the Church.

The easy-to-read book focuses on the importance of marriage and love in God's designed plan for our salvation, and you will get some tips on how to love others, and God. From the Sacred Story we can draw important conclusions for today: the openness to the life of “grow and multiply”; the importance of monogamy, seeing the chaos that polygamy creates; the value of marrying within the same faith, the beauty of chastity, or the crucial importance of fidelity and forgiveness.

In the gloom and chaos of the time of the Judges, the story of Ruth and Boaz shines like a torch in the darkness, showing us that the health of society depends on marriage. Every culture needs good leaders, but virtuous men and women do not fall from the sky. They are born and grow, and holy marriages are the greenhouses where virtuous leaders grow. It is difficult for children, without a loving father and a mother present in their lives, to grow up healthy in mind, body and soul. Without Ruth and Boaz, there is no David. Without a David, there is no escape from chaos, then or now.
