Original thoughts on a popular subject

Who would have thought a book written in the 1600's could be so absolutely profound even today? It is a testament to the transcendance of Holy Scripture. What was true 2,000 years ago is still true today: God is and was, and will be forever. He is the great "I AM" who with blessed condescension came to dwell with us. This book speaks of the marriage relation between Christ and His people. Pearse explains in a lively and lucid way the nature of God's love for His people, what this Love accomplished, and what it is doing, even presently. " I will be yours, says He to the soul, "to love you, to save you, to make you happy in Me and with Me. I, with all my riches and treasures, will be fully and forever yours." With the divorce rate as high as it is, this is the kind of assurance today's society so desperately needs. It isn't about morality, or getting right before God. Pearse makes it clear, as it is in the Bible, that we are not worthy of this great Love, but that God's grace abounds to love each and every heart with a "ravishing" love. Highly recommended.
