What People are Saying About This
"In The Sacred Art of Marriage, David has crafted something quite lovely. St. Benedict's fourth chapter on the Tools of Good Works was intended to shape our hearts into the heart of Christ through action. In simple, short chapters he weaves a small section from RB 4 and Sacred Scripture with tales his own life experience to call couples to deepen the quality of their lives together. These are organized by the four seasons—a nice reminder that our relationships and commitments also have 'seasons.' His simple exercises are practical. I recommend this for all, but especially for those preparing for marriage or in the early days of your lives together."
—Laura Swan, OSB, author of The Wisdom of the Beguines: The Forgotten Story of a Medieval Women's Movement
"David Robinson has a metaphorical mind and heart. His poetry combines with biblical, theological, pastoral, and marital wisdom. This book displays all of these gifts, and you will be the richer for reading it."
—Mark Labberton, President, Fuller Theological Seminary
