The Bride

About 5 months ago a friend of mine gave me this book called "The Bride" which is an allegory based on Song of Soloman. I had just come through a lot of things that really opened my eyes up to the love I have for the Lord but also the love he has for me. This book came at the perfect time. I normally am a very fast reader but I took my time with this book and it was worth it.

This book presents the Song of Soloman in an understandable, captivating and heart stirring way that reveals this beautiful Man, Jesus Christ, in a whole new way.
This book bypasses the mind and engages the heart, which allows you to experience the love Jesus has for his bride.
As I read the book I felt like I was reading a fairy tale. There is a song that says, "Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you. As I was reading I felt that it was so unbelievable it has to be a fairy tale. But that is exactly what happens in the life of one who loves God.
One of my favorite lines in the book is,"Realizing I had nothing to offer Him, I gave Him my heart. Realizing He had everything to give me, He gave me His Life"
I have decided to pass on this book to the first person who comments back to me that they would like it. The only catch is that you have to pass it on to someone else when you finish it. So, the first person to comment that they want the book will receive it.
Enjoy!
