Summary: His New Book on the Song is Better than This.
Review: I read A Song for Lovers years ago, and enjoyed it, but it doesn't compare to the author's new book on the Song. When I looked at the author's website, I discovered that he wrote the first book when he was a student in graduate school. Now after years of further study he has written Solomon's Song of Love.

Looking back on his first book, he writes (on the website),"I'm glad it could lay a foundation for further study, and it gave many of us a glimpse of what the beauty of the Song might be. But I could not have written Solomon's Song of Love without the intervening years. Additional study was needed, of course. But so was life experience. Its joys, and also its pains, helped me listen more attentively to the message of the Song."

Dr. Paul Meier calls Solomon's Song of Love "a work of art." Dr. Henry Cloud praises it as a "vision for our times." Tony Evans tells us it is a "must read."

For me personally, it was transformational. I was so tired of all the Christian self-help books, with list after list of things to do, and exercises to practice, in order to achieve romantic love. Give me the inspiration of this beautiful love song. My heart is open to love again.
