Celebration of Mutuality in the Sacrament of Covenantal Love-Relationship: A Study Based on the Syro-Malabar Liturgy of Matrimony
Jipson’s Celebration of Mutuality is an outstanding work on the reality, rationality, and relationality of the mystery of the mutual love-relationship echoed in the sacrament of marriage and established in the family life, and enhanced daily through the journey together of spouses to the flourishing of personality and sanctity-a replica and icon of the synodality in the Church. It is a laudable work of thorough research, sound theology, pastoral outlook, ecclesial rootedness, universal outreach, and lucid articulation of the celebration of the love-life saga.

Love Is a Verb: Stories of What Happens When Love Comes Alive
Dr. Gary Chapman has spent his life helping people communicate love more effectively and in turn build more satisfying and lasting relationships. His book The Five Love Languages is a regular on the New York Times bestsellers list–even after being in print for fifteen years–and has made the term “love language” a part of everyday speech. Love Is a Verb takes his teaching to the next level. Rather than a typical relationship self-help book filled with lengthy explanations of principles and techniques, it is a compilation of true stories displaying love in action. These stories–written by everyday people–go straight to the hearts of readers, who often say that illustrations are the most effective parts of a book. Gary Chapman adds a “Love Lesson” to each story, showing readers how they can apply the same principles to their own relationships.

Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches
The doctrine of adoption―God’s decision to adopt sinful men and women into his family―stands at the heart of Christianity. In light of this, Christians’ efforts to adopt beautifully illustrate the truth of the gospel. In this popular-level and practical manifesto, Russell Moore encourages Christians to adopt children and to help other Christian families to do the same. He shows that adoption is not just about couples who have struggled to have children. Rather, it’s about an entire culture within evangelicalism―a culture that sees adoption as part of the Great Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself.

The book summarizes the doctrine of marital indissolubility as it was lived and taught in the Catholic Church. This work is a systematic analysis and coherent presentation, which can explain clearly and concisely what are the main arguments that have been involved in the essential properties of Catholic Marriage and the concrete contemporary challenges to them. Topics also discussed are: the biblical foundations, the historical development, the contemporary challenges to the doctrine of marital indissolubility and simultaneously propose ways and means through which a renewed theology of marital indissolubility can be constructed which would adequately address millions of married Catholics and non-Catholics who are divorced and civilly remarried. It provides for a ‘more-inclusive’ pastoral care of those who have suffered through failed marital relationships.
