Dr. James Healy's new tape contains his unique blend of
experience as a therapist, marriage and family minister
and husband. His clever humor and highly effective metaphorical
style lead us gracefully through the Catholic theology of
marriage and what it means to live as a sacramental couple
in daily married life. When the Cake is Gone is a
worthwhile addition to any marriage program, whether preparation
for the engaged or enrichment for married couples; as well
as being a wonderful personal resource that couples will
want to use to continue to gain personal insights and growth
in their marriage.

Family Life Office) and Tony Vienna, and Candy
