Book Description
I feel this book of scripture is best looked at as a group of songs rather than one flowing song. There will be a lot of jumping back and forth between past and present through these different songs and story and I want to do my best to clarify that when we go through it. This book of the Bible is a very interesting one that looks deep between the relationship of the believer and Jesus Christ. Solomon is, of course, the writer (as we will see in a moment) and it is certainly something that is applicable for himself as he will be the shepherd that the Shulamite woman falls in love with. Solomon can do nothing but write about himself, seeing as this is what he was experiencing. The important thing to note and remember through this reading is (whether Solomon understood it or not) this wasn't about him. It was about Christ. All of scripture was/is about Christ. There are a plethra of books writen and recorded by Solomon that are not even located in scripture. Some are found in books like the Apocrypha, and others are books that have not made their way into scripture (perhaps things like journal entries). Other holy books even talk about Solomon and his glory (including, but not limited to the Quran). Solomon is a widely known figure in the religious circles, but there was something that shouldn't lost on mere religion alone. Solomon knew the God of the Bible. He conversed with God. He desired to lead the people FOR God. Jerusalem needed a Godly leader, and Solomon was the one chosen for the job. Through all his wisdom, he eventually understands the relationship aspect that God desires, and I believe that God reveals this through this story/song.

Book Description
A compelling exploration of the biblical foundations, contemplative practices, and spiritual path of Jesus himself—from the bestselling author of The Case for Jesus “What happens when a biblical theologian explores classic spirituality? This book. Pitre’s students have asked, Why have we never heard this before? The reader wonders the same.”—Dr. David Fagerberg, author of Liturgical Mysticism The path of following Jesus is an ancient and storied spiritual tradition. Yet many believers are not familiar with the three major forms of prayer and the three stages of spiritual growth that exist to bring them closer to God. In his most personal book yet, Brant Pitre, PhD, draws on the riches of the Bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of mystics across the centuries to shed light on the mystery—and wonder—of the spiritual life. Starting with the age-old belief that the path of prayer is not only informative but transformative, Dr. Pitre explores • the scriptural roots of the major forms of prayer: vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation • the purgative, illuminative, and unitive stages of spiritual growth • the spiritual exercises of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving • the Jewish roots of the Lord’s Prayer • Lectio Divina: how to pray with the Bible • seven vices and their seven opposing virtues • the battle of prayer: how to deal with difficulty and distractions • the “dark night of the soul” in the Scriptures Full of sacred truths, contemplative insights, and practical steps, Introduction to the Spiritual Life is a biblical road map of the spiritual landscape that enables us to follow Jesus as our primary guide.

Book Description
From the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner: Two girls who grow up to become women. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. This brilliantly imagined novel brings us the story of Nel Wright and Sula Peace, who meet as children in the small town of Medallion, Ohio. Nel and Sula's devotion is fierce enough to withstand bullies and the burden of a dreadful secret. It endures even after Nel has grown up to be a pillar of the black community and Sula has become a pariah. But their friendship ends in an unforgivable betrayal—or does it end? Terrifying, comic, ribald and tragic, Sula is a work that overflows with life.

Book Description
John Goldingay takes the New Testament as a portal into the complete canon of Scripture. Without searching out an overarching unity, he allows Scripture's diversity and tensions to remain, letting Scripture speak to us in its own voice. This landmark biblical theology is hermeneutically dexterous, biblically expansive, and nourishing to mind, soul and proclamation.
