Reviews

Many books about the Song of Songs approach its message too broadly, ultimately proving to be unhelpful or resulting in confusion. Song of Songs for Singles, however, leads the reader to view the Song of Songs through the lens of seeing God's design for the daughters of Jerusalem. God's gentle provision and care give hope to the next generation of believers who walk in the way of the Lord. In a broken world, this book shines brightly as it plainly speaks of sex and intimacy as God intended. Tim and Angela tastefully encourage the older generation to invest in the younger, shaping their minds and affections in accordance with God's Word. With courage and wit, the authors address the dangerous perspectives of sex in our day, and they call the believer to find hope, identity, beauty, and life in Christ alone.-Sam ChoiPastor, Prior Lake Baptist Church, Prior Lake, Minnesota
An ancient Jewish sage claimed, "No one under the age of 30 should read the Song of Songs." Gratefully, Tim and Angela do not follow his poor advice. The reason they do not follow this unwise counsel is because they recognize what is often missed-that the wisdom of the Song of Songs is not only written to married couples who are encouraged to enjoy marriage intimacy now but also to singles who can look forward to experiencing intimacy within their marriage. Tim and Angela provide a desperately needed resource for believing singles in today's Christian world. As a single follower of Jesus, if you want to learn to navigate sexuality wisely, this book is a good starting place.-Mark McGinnissAssistant Seminary Dean, Professor of Old Testament Literature, Language and Exegesis, Baptist Bible Seminary, Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania
Sex is a topic many talk about but rarely from a biblical perspective. Tim and Angela address issues many singles wonder about and discuss but from a thoroughly biblical worldview. I have often thought that if the church does not teach the next generation about sex, young people will look for answers from somewhere else. Song of Songs for Singles will be a tremendous help and encouragement to all who read it. By walking the reader through the Song of Solomon and making practical application of it, Tim and Angela help equip the next generation to glorify God through their relationships.-Dr. Jim TillotsonPresident, Faith Baptist Bible College & Theological Seminary
Judaism and Christianity have been guilty of misconstruing the Song of Songs for centuries. By forbidding it from being read until an appropriate age or mystifying and spiritualizing its message, scholars have left Bible readers wondering how the book applies to the believer's life. Rooted in sound exegesis, Song of Songs for Singles unpacks the Song of Songs in a sound and practical manner. In a day and age when so many Christians lack biblical knowledge and wisdom regarding sex and intimacy, this book provides guidance that is both desperately needed and extremely helpful.-Dr. Patrick OdlePresident, Baptist Mid-Missions
