Summary

The beautiful language of love found in Song of Solomon reflects the gift of sexual intimacy that is God's gift to married couples. Although true intimacy requires devotion, self-sacrifice, and whole-hearted commitment, it is an experience worth treasuring, full of joy, sorrow, ecstasy and love. So precious is this culmination of love in marriage that it was patterned after Jesus' relationship to His people. Those who understand how to be intimate with God will know how to be intimate with their mate. Ron and Paulette Phillips demystify the intimacy of the lovers in Song of Solomon and point us toward the Lover of our soul. Book jacket.
