As per custom, my wife sat in the back with our kids while I sat in the front, chatting with the driver. Dust and welcome air flew in through the open windows, and we talked loudly to drown out the wind. Then, the inevitable conversation began: \u003cbr\u003eDriver: Central Asian women are beautiful, aren't they? (My back prickled in response to my wife's almost-palpable eye-roll.)\u003cbr\u003eMe: My wife is beautiful.\u003cbr\u003eDriver: You should get a second wife. (I felt my wife rethinking pacifism.)\u003cbr\u003eMe: (Emphatically) God is one! Therefore, I will have only one wife!\u003cbr\u003eDriver: Oh-this is true! (Pause) Does your wife speak the language?\u003cbr\u003eMe: Fluently. And she doesn't like what you're saying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYears later, my wife confessed she had ignored the illogic of the \"One God\/one wife\" statement in return for its success as a conversation-stopper. But in researching, I happily discovered my shot at philosophy had been logical after all. In fact, my bit of accidental wisdom carried foundational truths about Yahweh's nature, his relationship with man, and his plan for marriage.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 23, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45290170613839,"sku":"9798985760200","price":17.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/ct8ua9SCJm9798985760200.webp?v=1779515756","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/searching-below-the-surface-a-deeper-look-at-covenant-and-contract-paperback","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
