Come, Fill the Gap: 30 Days in the Song of Solomon - Paperback

by Heather Funk (Illustrator), Elisabet Fountain (Author)

Countless self-help books offer us formulas. However, God is not quite as manageable as they promise, and reality has a way of messing up their systems. Following Jesus often involves more on our plates than human wisdom condones, and the pace of our lives often pacifies the deeper yearnings of the soul. Come, Fill the Gap is a 30-day revival of passion, feasting verse by verse on the life-giving Words of the Song of Solomon. Intended as an interaction between you, the reader, and the Author of your soul, my prayer is that this book might help you tune in to the music of your heart where His deep calls to yours. Most chapters in this 30-day devotional are divided into these sections: - A relevant quote from a sojourner in life bring perspectives spanning centuries and continents. - Literary Treasures draw from the wisdom and research of scholars to help us mine deeper jewels from this Living Word. - Come, Fill the Gap are my musings and experiences from clinging to these Scriptures for over two decades. - Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart is your place of response. The blank lines following the reflection questions are intended to capture your own love song, as you respond to His Voice. As a former lesbian flamenco dancer, now a Calvary Chapel pastor's wife for 18 years in South Beach, and the mother of two vibrant children, my entire life is immersed in the quest to help passionate people live unique, godly lives. From intimate conversations with seekers in our congregations to parents and teens in the co-op where i teach home-schoolers to speaking engagements on the subject, I have been met with a consistent sigh of relief and renewed spark of joy, when I speak of these wild beauties available in everyday life. Not a scholar, I am simply a fellow sojourner, who has discovered a Paradise I just can't keep to myself. See for yourself...
