Glover Shipp's more than 50 years in church work and in marriage, along with five degrees that he holds, have given him an insight into both human marriage and marriage of Christ and His Bride, the Church.

The content itself covers parallels between human marriage as God intended it and the spiritual relationship between Christ and His Bride. It is, therefore, valuable as a resource work on mar- riage and the Christian home, as well as on the true nature of the Church.
