The Mexican Wedding CoinsThe Mexican Wedding Coins is the story of two young lovers in Old Mexico. Juanita is the daughter of a wealthy landowner. Jose is the son of a peasant. Steeped in tradition, only the wisdom of godly fathers saved this couple from a tragedy similar to that of the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet.When a horrendous wrong is done to Jose by bandits, Manuel, Jose's father, presents the necessity of forgiveness to his son to prevent him from being destroyed from within.For Juanita to marry a commoner, her father, Alberto, had to cope with social considerations, traditions, and the prevailing customs. Knowing his daughter had lived a life of luxury, he wisely proposed a satisfactory solution to his, and her, dilemma. Embedded in the story are allusions to several Biblical events. The simplicity of the story opens many considerations within families for discussion. It well could have been named The Thirteen Gold Coins, A Father's Love, The Mexican Wedding Cookie, or The Three-Legged Stool of Marriage. The story gives the reader several Biblical insights into the life of families. Each character and situation in the story presents perspectives for consideration of what God offers as a pattern for marriage and life. The audience is worldwide.
