The Song of Solomon

I have read the song of Solomon so many times with out ever understanding it. Although my husband and I have been married for forty seven years, we wish we had that book before marrying. It would have enhance are marriage many years ago. I would wish that every young couple get a copy of it and read, read, until they understand what God wants for your marriage. It will save you a lot of ups and downs in going Thur your marriage. It will also solidify your marriage

"Sweeter than wine..."

The song of Solomon (Canticles) is a beautiful book. It's about love. It's also a difficult book. The Canticles are attributed to Solomon, son of David, king of Israel c.970-c.930 BC. In the Bible he's traditionally associated with The Song of Solomon (Canticles), Ecclesiastes, and Proverbs. His alleged wisdom is illustrated by the Judgement of Solomon. It doesn't mean necessarily that Solomon actually wrote them. In those days it was custom to ascribe some anonymous books to a famous person. The Canticles is a collection of love songs written in such way that the reader gets the impression to be a participant in a feast or a wedding feast. It's a dialogue, presented as love songs, between a man and a woman. That sounds obvious but it isn't because it's not clear who they really are. The Jews say that he and she are God and Israel. According to the Christians they symbolize Christ and the Church and yet another explanation says they are God and the Soul. Today we know that Solomon was not the author, the Canticum was written in the third century BC. The Canticles (or Canticum, Song of Solomon, Canticum Canticorum.) are not a story but a collection of songs. It provides tools to improve our knowledge of God's intentions and at the same time to understand better our own thoughts and fears. The "Canticles" is easy to read when you take the words literally. But when you search for a deeper meaning it can be very difficult.

Excellent!!!

I read this book in two days! The material in it is awesome and profound. Pastor Johnson does an excellent job in dissecting and expounding on the interpretation of the Song of Solomon. This is a great read for singles, marrieds, men and women. The information shared is practical and applicable. The Song of Solomon is broken down in simplistic form. I truly and thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend it to others.

This book has renewed my mind about relationships

This book is packed with revelation knowledge. The book uses the word of God to show you how to conduct yourself in any relationship. What's healthy and what's not. It deals with how you see yourself which in turn affects how people treat you. I recommend this book to anyone who is searching for what is pleasing to God on how to conduct yourself as a saved single person and as a saved married person. This book also shares what God has to say about your sex life as a married couple. Which is not a subject that is generally talked about in the church. I found this book to be refreshing, enlighting and uplifting.

A must read for singles ( & married people)!!

Let me start by saying Jeffrey Johnson is an extraordinary preacher! He really shows that he is able to teach in this book! Being 23 years old, I always have questions regarding love, sex, and relationships. Pastor Johnson wrote this book in a way that I could understand it. When I finished this book, I had more knowledge and understanding of the Word. This book if definitely a MUST READ!! It is for single people, as well as married, and doesn't discriminate against ages! Please read...you won't be dissapointed!!!
