Critics Review
A masterly look at a book some people have seen as a love song, other as description of the relationship between God and his people.– The Church Newspaper
This is an excellent book… I had come to it with very high expectations because of the author’s reputation, and I was not disappointed… A short review can only begin to convy the quality of this marvellous book, I wholeheartedly recommend its purchase. * The Church Times *A masterly look at a book some people have seen as a love song, other as description of the relationship between God and his people. * The Church Newspaper *The author invites the reader to be open in their longing for a full relationship with God… this book provides much food for thought, and could be used either for a house group, or a sermon. * The Reader *There is much here to challenge and inspire the reader to a deeper intimacy with God. * Preach Magazine *
