Sinopse

The Kama Sutra  is an ancient Indian Hindu text widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature written by Vatsyayana. A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sexual intercourse. It is largely in prose, with many inserted anustubh poetry verses. "Kama" which is one of the four goals of Hindu life, means desire including sexual desire the latter being the subject of the textbook, and "sutra" literally means a thread or line that holds things together, and more metaphorically refers to an aphorism (or line, rule, formula), or a collection of such aphorisms in the form of a manual. Contrary to popular perception, especially in the western world, Kama sutra is not just an exclusive sex manual; it presents itself as a guide to a virtuous and gracious living that discusses the nature of love, family life and other aspects pertaining to pleasure oriented faculties of human life.

    There is no other book like the Bible. God used at least forty human writers over more than 1,600 years to compost the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments. They included kings and shepherds, a physician and a tax collector. They lived on three continents—Europe, Asia, and Africa. 
     
     
     
    Yet the Bible is a single Book with a single Author, focused on a single theme: Jesus the Messiah, our Redeemer. From beginning to end, the Bible tells the story of the Kingdom of God and its King. The Old Testament tells us He is coming. The New Testament announces that He has arrived. 
     
     
     
    The sixty-six books of the Bible do not tell sixty-six stories. Together they tell one story. It's the story of humanity's rebellion against God and God's redemptive love for the human race. It's the story of a Kingdom and a Covenant, of one Lord who saves completely and rules eternally. 
     
     
     
    The unity of the Bible confounds human wisdom. The unity of the Bible baffles its critics. The unity of the Bible challenges its enemies. There's no book like this Book because there's no author like its Author.

She confronts her past, seeking the true meaning of home and finding it within her own heart and soul. This emotional journey introduces readers to a series of transformative stories where she encounters God in the different rooms of her inner sanctuary.In the midst of life's twists, "Home" is a feeling deep within us. Aleksa's universal journey offers solace and inspiration to those seeking meaning amidst their struggles.
