The Sanctity of Marriage

by Rev. Chauncey Giles

Introduction and Table of Contents

Like a Dickens novel, this work by Chauncey Giles unfolds slowly at first, as he sets the stage for what is to follow.  His prose style, like other writers of his day, is also sometimes  more complicated than we're used to.  But for the reader with a little patience there is great reward in this remarkable man's inspiring and insight-filled discussions of the teachings of the Word on this subject.  In the space of this short book he paints a picture that stretches from  its background in the nature of God to the practical principles of building a marriage that will last to eternity in heaven.
