The Song by Chris
Fabry
Musician Jed King was searching for something—and he found
it in Rose, the girl of his dreams. The
song that comes pouring out of him on their honeymoon propels him into the
limelight. He travels to sing The Song
while Rose stays behind to raise their son.
The distance between them increases and Jed must decide between the commitment
he has made to Rose or his growing attraction to Shelby, his musical co-star
who pursues him with a passion.
Chris Fabry, one of my favorite authors, crafted this story
based on the movie by the same name, which was based on the Song of
Solomon. Jed, Rose and Shelby flesh out
principles that King Solomon wrote about in Ecclesiates and some of the story
in the Song of Solomon.
Although there were no plot twists like most of Fabry’s
books, it is worth the read. It lends
itself well to a book club discussion or a couples’ study. In fact, my free copy from the publisher came
with a discussion guide and a couple’s five –day devotion in the back.
If you are seeking a typical Chris Fabry novel, you might
want to look elsewhere. If you are
looking for a modern-day portrayal of the applied wisdom of Solomon with some
good marriage principles embedded, this is the book for you!
