The Bride: One Woman’s Walk Through Judaism and Catholicism: The Sabbath, Marriage, Mass, and the World to Come

Bardan was teethed on the riches and beauty and orderliness of Orthodox Judaism. When God led her yet deeper into the riches and fullness of Catholicism, she could only channel the joy and motivation of her overflowing life by feasting daily in the deep reality of both traditions. In this work of joy, she has poured out upon her many friends and readers the love of God revealed with vigor in her written record. There is a demand for a book such as this, at this very time in salvation history. [From the Preface]

The Bride weds everything that points to the Messiah in certain revered traditions of Orthodox Judaism to the incarnate Son of God in the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Mass. What more evangelical witness could Jewish people in the Church manifest than to render glory to God by exulting in and practicing the treasures of both the Old and the New? (Matthew 13:52) [From the Preface]
