This is the last of David Torkington's Peter Calvay books. Through the lives of his parents, Peter likens the various stages of the spiritual search for God to a successful marriage. The marital analogy is central to the whole work, showing how the mystic way is for all. The work places mysticism back at the heart of the Christian life, and gives readers practical help and encouragement to support them on their spiritual odyssey. As with "The Hermit" and "The Prophet", this tale reveals truths to aid readers in their daily time with God.
