Featuring beautiful words and photographs alongside each other, "Aflame" offers ancient wisdom on eight aspects of unity, beauty, harmony, joy, purity, desire, fruitfulness, and fidelity. The eight sections each begin with a Scripture verse and consist of select excerpts from ancient Christian books, sermons, and wedding liturgies, all drawn from a rich variety of cultures — Greek, Roman, African, Middle Eastern, and Celtic. The first popular book to present early church voices on marriage, "Aflame" will make an elegant and unique wedding or anniversary gift book.
