About book Love's Sacred Song (2012)

Mesu Andrews has written a beautiful story based on the Biblical book Song of Solomon. Arielah has known it was her destiny to become Solomon’s bride from the first time she laid eyes on him when she was seven years old. When an arrangement is made by Arielah’s father to marry Solomon as a treaty bride to help unite the Kingdom, will her love for Solomon allow her to live as a part of his harem when all she wants is his love? Solomon has wisdom but is he wise enough to figure out how to devote himself to one woman when duty demands so much of his time and attention? Mesu is a masterful story-teller and does her research thoroughly and thoughtfully. A definite must-read! As I read the last page of my latest read, I smiled. It was a delightful read. It inspired me in ways that I can hardly explain. This is a love story, but it is so much more than just that. As I was thoroughly captivated while I read this book, in the back of my mind I constantly wondered how much was accurate and historical. I wish that I had read the notes at the end before I started, so that I would not have wondered. The answer Ms. Andrews said is “As much as possible!” This was not a passing fancy, this subject of Solomon and his beloved bride, in fact, it took twelve years of dedication and research to produce this wonderfully written novel. Yes, it is still a novel. We do not know the actual words spoken between the characters, but Ms. Andrews has ensured that the words she wrote were biblically, and historically accurate.I was utterly captivated by this book. The characters leapt off the page and into my heart. Solomon was a man who loved his father, loved God, and was torn between those loves and ruling his country. Arielah was an amazing young woman, born to marry Solomon, but the love she offered him was something he never experienced before her.I have never been a real fan of the book of Song of Solomon. I never really understood the Shepherd Prose before now. I will never read through this book lightly, again. Each word was thoughtfully chosen for the recipient, with love, tenderness, and intimacy.I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I have enjoyed some other biblical/historical fiction, however this will forever be a favorite.Honestly, I feel I much plug another book in this review, The Days of War. While it is a completely different book, the back ground of the relationship between David and Beniah helped me to fully understand the resulting relationship and loyalty between Solomon and Beniah. You by no means need to read it to get the full value of Love’s Sacred Song, but it was delightful for me to see the two books compliment each other so much!NOTE : I was offered a copy of Love’s Sacred Song at no cost, in exchange for and honest review from Revell Publishers.
