That theme is carried out in various ways. Book 1 chronicles the genesis of young love. Book 2 uses Canonical hours for the chapter titles. There are letters to pastors interrogations of God and struggles to understand spirituality with or without God. Book 3 is a Song of Songs erotic and fun.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)> </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)> Adoration refers to reverence that is carried out through words (hymns psalms poetry) and actions; it is how we demonstrate love and reverence. Via Adorations describes very direct experiences of love. Obliquity is deviation from a norm and it is through this indirect route this interrogation of the normal idea of God love and creativity that a resolution is reached.</span></p><p></p>
