This book was a deeply moving read. It gives a lot of information on cultural variances and perspectives to traditions conducted in other cultisms practices. This is valuable in understanding the practices of the time as well as understanding areas in the bible that are highlighted that may be overlooked for the significance and impact that one of the culture would know about. This book really deepened my love for God's covenant and his heart for raising his bride up in true awareness of how deep the symbols that are used and ceremonies that are acted out deeply impact the union of the covenant we hold with God.
