Sexuality is a beautiful part of life – truly a gift from God. As a young couple about to embark on one of life’s most important journeys, may you have only joy and success. An important part of this journey is developing physical intimacy – the unique pleasure of the sexual experience. Your enjoyment as sexual partners is more than just physical; you can feel closeness with another person that no other experience can provide. Your sharing of physical intimacy creates an emotional bond that should include feelings of trust, acceptance, caring, and mutuality. Your intimate relationship is the glue that binds your marriage together.Yet advice about the sexual experience that was once passed from parent to child is no longer, and as a result many couples are left to face this critical area of their lives with little guidance or information. This instructive and easy-to-read guide can help you navigate this new and uncharted area of your lives. For chassan (groom) and kallah (bride), as well as for teachers, rabbis, and anyone with questions about sexuality coming from the Torah observant community. It is user-friendly, with clear and descriptive language, and the information and guidance found in this book is not available anywhere else in the religious world.

What's the worst thing about being world saving heroes that nobody knows about? The fact that we're world saving heroes and nobody knows about it. You'd think defeating an evil Goblin Queen and saving the world would have skyrocketed us to fame and fortune, but guess what? It didn't. Not even close. But we're about to change all that. Hopefully. You see, we kinda, sorta stumbled upon the key to bringing back the entire dwarven race. Read that again. The. Entire. Dwarven. Race. That's right, everybody. If that doesn't get us some recognition and make life in this world easier for us, I don't know what will.Of course, we first have to deal with some Monfolk, and some pirates, and, oh yeah, defeat the giant, ancient earth elemental that's turned all the dwarves to stone.Yeah, that last one's a pretty big one. Literally. That thing's ginormous. But we got a plan. Not a very well thought out plan, but a plan nonetheless. And with a lot of luck, we might just pull this off.James's Ragtag Adventures in Questworld is a middle grade, fantasy adventure series for fans of Percy Jackson, The Last Kids on Earth, and Trapped in a Video Game
