Uniting

Uniting was inspired by the Bible and by the author's vast experience with blood donation, church music, and unsuccessful boy-girl relationships. The book is a somewhat fanciful effort to stress elements of successful social interactions, including the following:

Faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God and personal Savior.

Importance of obedience to Bible teaching, particularly regarding being in the world but not of the world, and trusting Jesus with good health habits, financial conservatism, honoring and obeying parents, pre-marital chastity, and limited physical affection before marriage.

Importance of joy, humor, and courageous faith in God.

Unimportance of dating, experimentation with "relationships," and extravagant weddings.

Importance of education, music, technical media savvy, and other training for joyful and rewarding Christian service opportunities, including missionary work, but for nothing more, particularly not for egotistical grandstanding.

Suggestions for starting witnessing in casual conversations.

Usefulness of pastoral counseling before the wedding ceremony.
