Paul Dunion is the author of a dozen articles. In 2006, he published Shadow Marriage - A Descent into Intimacy. His first book was Temptation in the House of the Lord. Currently he is working on a third book, Dare to Grow Up - Become Who You Are Meant to Be.

SHADOW MARRIAGE: A DESCENT INTO INTIMACY is a provocative and innovative book about marriage that introduces a paradigm shift away from the pursuit of nuptial happiness to an invitation to marital creativity. An ancient meaning of creativity is "to generate new life". However, a requirement of all new life is a willingness for the old life to die.

Marriage is defined as a series of "Initiations" where each individual as well as their relationship is challenged to drop to new depths, leaving behind what may have obstructed both individual and collective deepening.

The book examines the nature of "shadow" especially as it is expressed through "shame", "power", "regression", and "diversity". Couples are encouraged to see marriage as a place where "Irreconcilable differences" are inevitable and, rather than terminate a relationship because of these differences, learn to go deeper within themselves and with one another.

"SHADOW MARRIAGE is wonderfully insightful and fully grounded at the same time! Dr. Dunion has encapsulated many years of experience into his text. You can feel the weight of each sentence as it comes off the page. This book will help anyone gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of love and relationship."

TEMPTATION IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD is a lucid depiction of the love between an 11 year-old boy and a Roman Catholic Priest. Their meeting appears to be as much a part of parish life as it does a necessary expression of their destinies. Their relationship appropriately begins at an altar, a place where both sacrifice and worship take place. The years separating an 11 year-old boy and a 27 year-old priest seem to evaporate in the midst of the boy's longing to be understood, blessed and loved by a man and the priest's yearning to reclaim a severed part of his childhood.

Both priest and boy carry a hunger that has not been fed by family or church. The boy is saturated with the rearing and influence of women. The priest is psychologically overwhelmed by church dogma and protocol. He is a young sensual man seeking warmth and contact while being imprisoned by a vow of celibacy that reduces him to a fugitive within his own heart.

The sensitivity and wounds of Father Ray Billings kneads the boy's psyche, pushing and pulling it away from borrowed values and beliefs while pressing it slowly and constantly toward what is instinctual and primal within the boy's soul. Forced to separate passion from spirit, Father Ray Billings succumbs to deviant expressions of his sensuality which inevitably place his beloved young friend at risk.

"Paul Dunion's TEMPTATION IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD is important to the understanding of Clerical Incest and is a real page burner."
